You taught me all you thought that I 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.


Getting all these messages from voices in my head
Warning me of 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)


Getting all these messages from voices in my head
Warning me how 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


AHH Come on
I Fear its all just a show
I know we all fall down

And one day I will return to the ground
I scream at you but I won't come down
Time is now


You've got to
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

Stand for something now

(Can't beat me out of me)
(repeats)
