You taught me all you thought that

I'd need to know

And then you passed away

And then you passed away

What is my destination?

What will become of me

On that cold day?

On that cold day

Can't ignore these messages from voices in my head

Warning me I've much to do before I wake up dead

Stand for something now

Or fall for anything

The time has come to shout loud

I won't go quietly

Won't be a face in the crowd

I'll stand defiantly

Keep on beating me down

You can't beat me out of me

Tomorrow is promised to no man

When Death comes calling

We must take his hand

We must take his hand

Don't wait until the final hour

It may never arrive

If that's the plan

If that's the plan

Can't ignore these messages from voices in my head

Warning me I've much to do before I wake up dead

Stand for something now

Or fall for anything

The time has come to shout loud

I won't go quietly

Won't be a face in the crowd

I'll stand defiantly

Keep on beating me down

You can't beat me out of me

Come on

I hear a distant sound

I know we all fall down

And one day, I will return to the ground

I scream the truth that I have found:

The time is now

You've got to

Stand for something now (Stand for something now)

Or fall for anything

The time has come to shout loud (The time has come to shout loud)

I won't go quietly

Won't be a face in the crowd (Won't be a face in the crowd)

I'll stand defiantly

Keep on beating me down

You can't beat me out of me

Stand for something now (You can't beat me out of me)

(You can't beat me out of me)

Stand for something now (You can't beat me out of me)

(You can't beat me out of me)
