Lyrics for Stand

Stand in the place where you live Now face north Think about direction Wonder why you haven't before Now stand in the place where you work Now face west Think about the place where you live Wonder why you haven't before If you are confused, check with the sun Carry a compass to help you along Your feet are going to be on the ground Your head is there to move you around So stand in the place where you live Now face north Think about direction Wonder why you haven't before Now stand in the place where you work Now face west Think about the place where you live Wonder why you haven't before Your feet are going to be on the ground Your head is there to move you around If wishes were trees, the trees would be falling Listen to reason, season is calling Stand in the place where you live Now face north Think about direction Wonder why you haven't before Now stand in the place where you work Now face west Think about the place where you live Wonder why you haven't before If wishes were trees, the trees would be falling Listen to reason, reason is calling Your feet are going to be on the ground Your head is there to move you around So stand (Stand!) Now face north Think about direction Wonder why you haven't before Now stand (Stand!) Now face west Think about the place where you live Wonder why you haven't Stand in the place where you live Now face north Think about direction Wonder why you haven't before Now stand in the place where you work Now face west Think about the place where you live Wonder why you haven't before Stand in the place where you are Now face north Stand in the place where you are Now face west Your feet are going to be on the ground (Stand in the place where you are) Your head is there to move you around, so stand
