Verse 1
Th[A]is is where my father tripped, this is [F#m]the part my teacher skipped
Tal[E]ked about humanity, and h[D]ow it all relates to me
A[A] million battles to be won, but m[F#m]e I'm just my mother's son
Tr[E]ied to fight and be a man when a[D]ll I had to do was stand
Pre-Chorus
[F#m]God brings the answer, wh[E]ere we least expect
Som[Bm]etimes the best approach is to si[E]mply be direct
Chorus
S[D]tand though the wo[E]rld is laughing
S[F#m]tand up on croo[D]ked feet
[D]Stand up and be[E] counted
[F#m]Stand though you mi[D]ght get beat
I[D]f you're too tired to ret[E]reat, just stand
[A] [F#m] [E] [D]
Verse 2
It[A]'s really such a simple thing, just [F#m]pour a cup of faith and drink
R[E]elax the tension in your head, tr[D]ust in every word God said
So [A]jack be nimble jack be quick, jac[F#m]k stood on that candlestick
Well it's h[E]ope that makes you turn around, and p[D]lace your feet on solid ground
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus x2)
