Lyrics:

Stand up, Stand up, Stand up, Stand up


So many castles in Spain

The ruins haunt me still

Pieces of broken dreams

All these feelings I hate

Every word is planned

All my faults are concealed

When I'm cloaked in pretense

I betray my own blood

In everything I run from

I see just who I am

And very moment I sink

Into the darkness within

And then I find the child

Who doesn't quite know how

He got so very lost


Every single time

This cry inside

Stand up

Every single time

This cry inside

Stand up


I know that voice so well

I know that it's yours

The one who picks me up

When I'm on the floor

When I walk through the gates

Of the world where I take

All my demons and pain

Out of time and space

Lost in my own dreams

Of joy that leaves too fast

Imaginary world

A refuge that won't last

And then it comes rushing back

With its sorrow and pain

The real and its chains


Every single time

Your voice inside

Stand up

Every single time

This cry inside

Stand up, Stand up, Stand up


Today I'm falling apart

In pain and apathy

But when nothing makes sense

You're the one in my head

And Im happy you're there

Cos I can clearly see

How never to fall

To those who carried me

Those who brought me strength

The one who made me whole

Love that never dies

You're my miracle sign

Anywhere I stray

My kids are a light

In the midst of the fog


Every single time

Your voice inside

Stand up

Every single time

This cry inside

Stand up, Stand up, Stand up

Stand up, Stand up, Stand up, Stand up


I have danced the dance with death

His stigmata on my skin

The smell it haunts me still

I'd accepted what's to come

All my loved ones my friends

And all of those who said

This is not your last dance

Don't go please stay A little more

Don't close your eyes

Oh my god

Don't close your eyes


Stand up, Stand up, Stand up, Stand up


And its all to you I owe

What is written in my soul

Stand up Stand up, Stand up


When I lose myself belief

It's in your eyes I see

My Resilience

My resilience

Stand up
