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
