Take the chains off my lips, it's time to set my tongue free
Some might just turn their heads but some will raise a fist
And You told me to stand so I won't back down from this
They say there are no absolutes but are they absolutely sure?
[Chorus]
In a world that tries to water You down
Where beliefs cannot be spoken too loud, I'll stand for truth
Where they claim Your way isn't wide enough
And they do their best just to cover You up, I'll stand for You
Hello reality, it's time we embrace honesty
Teach me to speak with truth and love and with humility
You made a promise that You're coming back to earth
So how selfish am I if I don't go tell the world?
They say just be sincere but could they all just be sincerely wrong?
[Chorus]
In a world that tries to water You down
Where beliefs cannot be spoken too loud, I'll stand for truth
Where they claim Your way isn't wide enough
And they do their best just to cover You up, I'll stand for You
They might remove Your name from money but You own it all the same
They kicked You out of school, that's funny
'Cause how could You go away?
In a land that's built upon Your word, it's amazing You've been banned
To think that we control You is absurd, so for truth I'm here to stand
[Chorus]
In a world that tries to water You down
Where beliefs cannot be spoken too loud, I'll stand for truth
Where they claim Your way isn't wide enough
And they do their best just to cover You up, I'll stand for You
I'll stand for You
So long politics, it's time to start being me Take the chains off my lips, it's time to set my tongue free Some might just turn their heads but some will raise a fist And You told me to stand so I won't back down from this They say there are no absolutes but are they absolutely sure? [Chorus] In a world that tries to water You down Where beliefs cannot be spoken too loud, I'll stand for truth Where they claim Your way isn't wide enough And they do their best just to cover You up, I'll stand for You Hello reality, it's time we embrace honesty Teach me to speak with truth and love and with humility You made a promise that You're coming back to earth So how selfish am I if I don't go tell the world? They say just be sincere but could they all just be sincerely wrong? [Chorus] In a world that tries to water You down Where beliefs cannot be spoken too loud, I'll stand for truth Where they claim Your way isn't wide enough And they do their best just to cover You up, I'll stand for You They might remove Your name from money but You own it all the same They kicked You out of school, that's funny 'Cause how could You go away? In a land that's built upon Your word, it's amazing You've been banned To think that we control You is absurd, so for truth I'm here to stand [Chorus] In a world that tries to water You down Where beliefs cannot be spoken too loud, I'll stand for truth Where they claim Your way isn't wide enough And they do their best just to cover You up, I'll stand for You I'll stand for You Explain Request ×
