Stand In the end you'll still be you One that's done all the things you set out to do Stand There's a cross for you to bear Things to go through if you're going anywhere Stand For the things you know are right It s the truth that the truth makes them so uptight Stand All the things you want are real You have you to complete and there is no deal Stand. stand, stand Stand. stand, stand Stand You've been sitting much too long There's a permanent crease in your right and wrong Stand There's a midget standing tall And the giant beside him about to fall Stand. stand, stand Stand. stand, stand Stand They will try to make you crawl And they know what you're saying makes sense and all Stand Don't you know that you are free Well at least in your mind if you want to be Everybody Stand, stand, stand (C) 1969 by Daly City Music
All: Life, Life
Past the clouds
You don't have to come down
Life, Life
Tell it like it is
You don't have to die before you live
Larry: You might get angry some times
But don't let it turn you around
All you gotta do
Is get your livin' down
(CHORUS)
Sly: You might be scared of somethin' -- look at Mr. Stewart!
He's the only person he has to fear
He'd only let himself get near
He don't trust nobody
If he stopped bein' so shady
He could have a nice young lady
(CHORUS)
Freddie: You're gonna be sad sometime
You might wake up to find your pet is gone
But maybe
He's tired of bein' alone
Dog gets hip, it has to go
If you're lovin' you can't be sad no more
(CHORUS)

Bullets start chasin' I begin to stop.
We begin to wrestle I was on the top.

Thank you falettinme be mice elf
Agin.
Thank you falettinme be mice elf

Flamin' eyes of people fear, Burnin' into you.
Many men are missin' much, Hatin' what they do.
Youth and Truth are makin' love,
Dig it for a starter.
Dyin' young is hard to take,
Sellin' out is harder.
I - - want to
Thank you falettinme be mice elf
Agin.
Thank you falettinme be mice elf
Agin.
