Stand Up Be Counted

[intro guitar hook] [verse] You’ve got to do what it takes Your rights from your wrongs Admit your mistakes and know what’s going on Reach out your hands Come hold me Tight Make me understand Get us through the night [chorus] Stand up be counted, stand your ground If you give up the fight, you won’t be around Stand up be counted, it won’t take long Can’t bring you down, if you stay strong [verse] You get all worked up Blood pressure rises It’s never all good There is always surprises Do things the way I want When you go down that track Take the easy way out And never look back [chorus] Stand up be counted, stand your ground If you give up the fight, you won’t be around Stand up be counted, it won’t take long Can’t bring you down, if you stay strong [bridge] Face your fears and stand strong Don’t back down it won’t take long Tell everybody to lend a hand Help you be a better man [guitar solo] [chorus] Stand up be counted, stand your ground If you give up the fight, you won’t be around Stand up be counted, it won’t take long Can’t bring you down, if you stay strong [verse] Get out of life and Take what you need Sometimes you have An Ace up your sleeve When it comes to the end There is one another That makes it hard To judge a book by its cover [chorus] Stand up be counted, stand your ground If you give up the fight, you won’t be around Stand up be counted, it won’t take long Can’t bring you down, if you stay strong [outro] Stand up be counted, stand your ground Stand up, stay strong.
