Stand Tall
Stand up and be proud
Sing those deep heartfelt feelings aloud
Two feet or Two hundred feet high
Stand up! Let your dreams fill the sky
When that back is slumped
You're sending an irresistible invitation to be jumped
That 'old monkey' can't ride you when you stand tall
Fortitude, self-respect, diligence, pride and self-confidence—that's all
When you stand tall, nobody can hold out their hand of sorrow
When you stand tall, you can make dreams of today a 'living' tomorrow
Stand as if you were an oak tree
Stand tall, strong, and beautiful for the whole world to see
Why should anyone stand small?
You might as well stand tall if you're going to stand at all
