Is the world so big it makes you feel small

Is the hole you dig even deep enough at all

The graveyard's full my grandma used to say

If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything



Is time worth saving in paper dollar bills

Coz we always just done it don't mean we always will

Is it worth singing along if you have a song to sing

If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything



Can one single person make a change if they try

It's true all the martyrs that ever lived already died

Is the road so long we're gonna have to drive

If you don't stand for something you will fall too far behind



Is there meaning in all these words that we say

Is there a reason for living life anyway

Is confusion a state like Iowa or Maine

If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything



Are the waters so rough coz we try to scrub em clean

Do we mean the things we do, do we do the things we mean

When a child is born is it coz she has sinned

If she tries to stand for something will she take the fall for everything



When the day has come and your shadow's lost its light

Will you see in the darkness who was wrong and who was right

Will the devil pay your tab and take you home with him

Coz you either stand for something or you fall for anything
