Stand Like a Man

Chorus: Choir

Lift me up, don't let me fall

Voices rising, hear the call

Turn the page, become someone

Leave that darkness, walk and run

Choir Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh, rise above, find the sun

Oh oh oh, rise above, find the sun

Verse 2

Double locks on my door, mind on survival

Once I ran for revenge, now it’s climbing, revival

Had to bury old pride, let the pain dissolve

Learned the codes of respect, not just problems to solve

Mama cried too many nights, I heard her prayer

Promised not to be a ghost, had to show I care

Hood taught me to hustle, but I built a new plan

Swapped my anger for patience, now I stand like a man

Pre-Chorus: Choir

Chains break, come undone

Made mistakes, now I run

From that road, I must shun

Rise tomorrow, cause I won

Chorus: Choir

Lift me up, don't let me fall

Voices rising, hear the call

Turn the page, become someone

Leave that darkness, walk and run

Choir Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh, rise above, find the sun

Oh oh oh, rise above, find the sun
