C                      Am
A story of a heart in need 
                    F
Playin on my T.V. screen 
                              G
Will I sit back and watch it fade 

Theres gotta be a better way 
  C                        Am
Love is more than what ya feel 
                         F
Love is action love is real 
                            G
Break you silence turn the key 

And be the change you wanna see 
Am                       F
So get ready come on everybody 
G
Are you ready to 

CHORUS 
C
Stand for what you believe in 
Am
Stand for all that is right 
F
Stand when it's dark all around you 
        G
You can be that shinning light 
 C
Stand when troubles come callin 
 Am
Your gonna be all right 
  F
Stand Just reach deep inside you 
    G
And be that shinning light 
 C

C                                Am
I feel the earth shake raise my voice 
                           F
I have my soul I have a choice 
                          G
I feel it burning I want more 

So what am I waiting for

Am                       F
So get ready come on everybody 
G
Are you ready to

CHORUS 
C
Stand for what you believe in
