No way I'm never letting anybody take me down, kick me round

Cause man I've been working too damn hard for you to take my pride

Oh, you can try



And nothing you could say and nothing you could do is gonna get in my way

No, not today

There must be something in the wires

Trying to take me higher, woah

(Cause from now on)



I'll be standing tall

Standing right where I belong

Tell everybody that next you see me

I'll be standing tall

Tall as any mountain

Oh yeah

Next time you see me

I'll be standing tall



You can catch an airplane

You can ride a hurricane

But I ain't stepping down

Not in my hometown

You could try to play cool

Go do what you do

But I don't suffer fools

Not like you



And nothing you could say and nothing you could do is gonna get in my way

No, not today

There must be something in the wires

Trying to take me higher, woah

(Cause from now on)



I'll be standing tall

Standing right where I belong

Tell everybody that next you see me

I'll be standing tall

Tall as any mountain

Oh yeah

Next time you see me

I'll be standing tall



Gonna raise my hands up high

Until I touch the sky, woah woah



I'll be standing tall

Standing right where I belong

Tell everybody that next you see me

I'll be standing tall

Tall as any mountain

Oh yeah

Next time you see me

I'll be standing tall

That's right
