Is the world so big, it makes you feel small, 
Is the hole you dig deep enough at all 
The graveyard is full, my grandma used to say 
If you don’t stand for something, you will fall… for anything 

Is time worth saving, in paper dollar bills, 
Cuz we always just done it, don’t mean we always will, 
Is it worth singing along if you have a song to sing, 
If you don’t stand for something, you will fall… for anything 

Can one single person make a change if they try, 
It’s true all the martyrs that ever lived already died, 
Is a road so long, gonna have to drive, 
If you don’t stand for something, you will… too far behind. 

Is there meaning in all these words that we say, 
Is there reason for living, life anyway, 
Is confusion a state, like Iowa or Main, 
If you don’t stand for something you will fall… for anything 

Are the waters so rough, cuz we try to scrub ‘em clean, 
Do the mean things we do, do we do the things we mean, 
When a child is born is it cuz she has sin 
If she tries to stand for something, she’d take the fall… for everything 

When the day has come, your shadow lost its light, 
Will you see in the darkness, who was wrong and who was right, 
Will the devil pay your tab, take you home with him, 
Cuz you either stand for something, or you fall… for anything
