Stand

作词 : Jewel Kilcher

作曲 : Jewel Kilcher/Lester A. Mendez

Walk in a corner shop

See a shoplifting cop

See the old lady with a gun

See the hero try to run

Nothings what it seems, I mean

Its not all dirty, but its not all clean

Theres children paying bills

Theres monks buying thrills

Theres pride for sale in magazines

Theres pills for rent to make you clean

Marvin Gaye, theres no brother, brother Marvin Gaye

Woody Guthries land cant feed Mother Woody Guthrie

Mothers weep, children sleep

So much violence ends in silence

Its a shame theres no one to blame

For all the pain that life brings

If you will just take me It might just complete me

And together we can make a stand

A waitress brings me lunch

We meet but do not touch

On TV, D.C. is selling lies

While in the corner, Kings dream dies

Go to the counter, pay for me and my friend

A homeless man pulls out a roll, says its on him

The mayor has no cash

He said he spent it on hookers and hash

Mothers weep, children sleep

So much violence ends in silence

Its a shame theres no one to blame

For all the pain that life brings

If you will just take me It might just complete me

And together we can make a stand

You will love me, I will love you

You will love me, I will love you

Mothers weep, children sleep

So much violence ends in silence

Its a shame theres no one to blame

For all the pain that life brings

If you will just take me It might just complete me

And together we can make a stand

Mothers weep, children sleep

So much violence ends in silence

Its a shame theres no one to blame

For all the pain that life brings

If you will just take me It might just complete me

And together we can make a stand

Mothers weep, children sleep

So much violence ends in silence

Its a shame theres no one to blame

For all the pain that life brings

If you will just take me It might just complete me

And together we can make a stand
