My mommy always told me to do what's right
To wash behind my ears and try to be polite
You see she loves me so, that's beautiful
That's why she tells me what I need to know
I've got a lotta respect for that woman

But sometimes when I'm playin' with a buddy or two
They're doin' things I know I'm not supposed to do
Well, do ya go along'
Even though the things the do are wrong'
I remember

Stand
Stand up, stand up
For what you believe in, believe in, believe in, God
He's the one to back you up
Will stand with you

When everybody tells you that you gotta be cool
Remember what you learned in church and Sunday School
Just check it out
The Bible tells you what it's all about
Oh, ya' know that's right

So if you have a question, go ask your dad
And he can tell you if a thing is good or bad
You'll make their day
If you remember what your parents say
What'd they say'

They told us, stand
Stand up, stand up
For what you believe in, believe in, believe in, God
He's the one to back you up
Will stand with you

Stand
Stand up, stand up
For what you believe in, believe in, believe in, God
He's the one to back you up
Will stand with you
Hey, stand with you, oh yeah
