Fear, the factor that holds you binds you ties you
The worry that constantly reminds you
It won’t let you sleep at night
Pain, the feeling that hurts from the start
It tears you up and goes and breaks your heart
But that aching feeling seems like it will never go away
I know it’s hard sometimes to make it through
Even when the world is crashing down on you
You don’t have to be afraid
Know that God hears your cries
You’re always on his mind
He will work it out in time
So wipe your eyes and hold your head up
Stand up, hold your head up
It’s going to be okay, it’s going to be alright
Stand up, hold your head up
Keep your head to the sky
It’s your day, this is your time
Hopeless, you find yourself down on your knees in prayer
Searching for real answers to the questions of reality
That seem to weigh your mind
Helpless, you find yourself without the strength to carry on
With no faith to lead and guide you
And no shoulder to lean on
In your heat and mind you’ve given up
You’ve already given up
Stand, stand, stand, stand
Stand, stand, stand, stand
Stand, stand, stand, stand
Stand, stand, stand, stand
You can make it, yes you can make it, take it
Yes you’re an overcomer, victorious, soul survivor
Through divorce, oppression, abuse, addiction, hunger, depression
You can make it, yes you can make it, take it
