You're looking like you made the grade
But you can't even prove it to your friends
Even if you did it wrong
You must believe your chance is strong
Before you go out turning peoples heads

I know behind that front you want to say the words
'cause you think that you might be
The best one in the world
I gave you all my answers
I love you like a friend
Now we'll see it through, yeah
We'll see it to the end

Stand up, don't you cry
Stand up, give me one good reason why
You shouldn't
Stand up, stand tall, stand up
Don't put your back against the wall
Because it's always worth the battle if you try

You're thinking that you have it made
But you're looking like you're still afraid
I know the way you dwell on what is wrong
Even if you think it's gone
Keep singing like a little song
That these doubts are what you'll hide

I know behind that front you want to say the words
'cause you think that you might be
The best one in the world
I gave you all my answers
I love you like a friend
Now we'll see it through, yeah
We'll see it to the end

Stand up, don't you cry
Stand up, give me one good reason why
You Shouldn't
Stand up, stand tall, stand up
Don't put your back against the wall
Because it's always worth the battle if you try
