Lyrics Michael McDonald

Michael McDonald

I Stand For You

No greater power, no greater gift to lose

Then the message unspoken, the silence of the truth

Alone we hide in the shadows

But together we bring on the light

One voice is not strong enough

One heart just won't do

In this world, I don't count for much

Unless I stand for you

Oh, we are the beginning of a sound that might be heard

To the many who lie waiting

Our words break through the cold grip of silence

And they guide us through the night

One voice is not strong enough

One heart just won't do

In this world, I don't count for much

Unless I stand for you

One choice is all we got

One fact remains true

In this world, I don't count for much

Unless I stand for you

Not another minute, not another hour

We're gonna rise on up every man, woman and child

(I believe that the time has come)

Oh, I stand for you, alone we hide in the shadows

But together we bring on the light
