Chicago – I Stand Up lyrics

You'll never lose me to temptation.
Fighting the devil and I beat the dragon too.
I'm at your rescue; I'm your faithful one,
if it's the last thing that I ever mean to do.
I'm in deeper than you could know.
The wise in me won't let it go.
You can count on me, guarantee.

I stand up, I stand up,
believe in myself.
(If you love somebody, stand.)
I stand up, I stand up,
give me a little respect.
(If you need somebody, stand.)

Out of the shadow, yet I'm alright.
It's not as easy as I know it used to be.
I don't have time to look behind me.
I know the truth and it's the truth that set me free.
One more heart to heart to live for;
one more time to stop the war,
inside of me; in spite of me.

I stand up, I stand up,
believe in myself
(If you love somebody, stand.)
I stand up, I stand up,
give me a little respect.
(If you need somebody, stand.)

[Chorus repeats.]
