Jules Shear Stand Tall Lyrics

Stand tall when the change comes 'round
Every change that comes don't have to water your life down
(Stand tall)
This youthful disregard for anything refined
Gonna leave you a boy trying to make up a man's mind

Stand tall, yeah, and keep a little raw nerve
It's hard to get someplace that you know you deserve
Gotta keep your head receiving or you'll miss the call
Stand tall, stand tall, stand tall

Stand tall, down in the deep fry
When there's heavy competition and you're the other guy
(Stand tall)
Don't disappear in the rebellion of the lost
Following the downbringers, not thinkin' 'bout the cost

Stand tall, yeah, it's easier to breathe
Stand tall and let the jaded all walk by underneath
Your clean face shining, though your joys be small
Stand tall, stand tall, stand tall

We can't all be leaders, we can't all be led
We've all said a few words that'd be better left unsaid
Let's be awake out in the streets and leave the sleeping for our beds
Give it, live it, stand up

And stand tall, this is life and not a dream
You cut back on your expectations
You bring in the crop without the cream
(Stand tall)
Or else you find yourself bent over looking back
Madly begging, but the parade's already past

Stand tall, yeah, it's easier to breathe
Stand tall and let the jaded all walk by underneath
Your clean face shining, though your joys be small
Stand tall, stand tall, stand tall
Stand tall, stand tall, stand tall
