Below, you will find the lyrics for Stand Tall by Childish Gambino.
Verse 1
When the sun is rising over streets so barren
Since the evening, colors flash before my eyes
I feel like a child, so young and new in '92
I listened to what my father said
Chorus 1
Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall
If you are strong, you cannot fall
There is a voice inside us all
So smile when you can, when you can
Verse 2
How this used to feel so far and free
Now these broken souls are all i see
Fists have fallen to our side
We may cry alone, i feel we know where all of this is headed
But my mama said
Chorus 2
Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall
I, nah, nah, nah
If you are strong, you cannot fall
If you are strong, no
There is a voice inside us all
So smile, when you can, when you can
There is more to you and me
There is more than they can see
I'm on your side
There is more out there
And somebody cares 'bout you
I do
Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall
If you are strong, you cannot fall
Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall
If you are strong, you cannot fall
Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall
If you are strong, you cannot fall
Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall
If you are strong, you cannot fall
There is more out there
Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall
If you are strong, you cannot fall
When they're gone, keep to yourself
Ooh, yeah!
Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall
If you are strong, you cannot fall
Keep on your dreams, keep standing tall
If you are strong, you cannot fall
(keep on your dreams, keep standing tall
If you are strong, you cannot fall)
Ooh!
