  • You can have all the money in your hands
    All the possessions anyone can ever have
    But it's all worthless treasure, true worth is only measured
    Not by what you got, but what you got in your heart
    You can have, you can have everything
    What does it, what does it mean?

    It all means nothing
    If you don't stand up for something
    You can't just talk the talk
    You got to walk that walk, yes you do
    It all means nothing
    If you don't stand up for something
    And I stand up for you
    And I stand up for you, yes I will, yes I will

    You do the best that, do the best that you can do
    Then you can look in the mirror
    Proud of who's looking back at you
    Define the life you're living
    Not by what you take or what you're givin'
    And if you bet on love there's no way you'll ever lose
    Take a stand, make a stand for what's right
    It's always worth, always worth the fight

    It all means nothing
    If you don't stand up for something
    You can't just talk the talk
    You got to walk that walk, yes you do
    It all means nothing
    If you don't stand up for something
    And I stand up for you
    Stand for respect, dignity
    If that's all you got, then you got all you need
    And without that, you don't have a thing, oh, no, no

    Rise up, love, lift your hands
    I stand with you 'cause I understand
    Ain't here to judge, just to take a stand
    The greater plan's the Creator's plan
    Let's all rise like the day began
    Reach out and touch with the Savior's hand
    On rock, we stand like this native land
    Let the ways of love be the ways of man

    And it all means nothing
    If you don't stand for something
    You can't just talk the talk
    You got to walk that walk, yes you do
    It all means nothing
    If you don't stand up for something
    And I stand up for you (stand up, stand for you)
    I stand up for you (stand up)
    And I stand up for you (stand up, stand for you)
    Stand up for you, yes I will, yes I will (stand up) Writer/s: Cassandra Monique Batie, Diane Eve Warren, Lonnie Rashid Lynn
