A Place To Stand

A Place To Stand

Verse 1
I'm looking for a place to stand
I've been sitting down for much too long
As a result, my b-um is sore
I don't mean to get in anyone's way
I thought that somebody could help me
But it turns out I was wrong
Down where I've been is not where anybody should be
For a long period of time
The air is not as clean, people look down upon you
Your sanity slowly drifts away

Verse 2
I'm looking for a place to stand
It's not as easy as it sounds
But I am not going to give up
There's a location where I'll be able to strive for excellence
I'll keep searching for it until the day I die
Down where I've been is not where anybody should be
For a long period of time
You become stressful, worn out and easily upset
Confusion slowly invades your mind

Verse 3
I know I could never be a perfect person
I just want to be the best I can be
If I don't stand and take control of my life
I will not have much to live for
I promised myself that I would give my all
Whenever I had to get something done
I will live up to my word
I won't let myself down
I'm looking for a place to stand

Bridge
I'm looking for a place to stand
I don't mean to get in anyone's way
Down where I've been is not where anybody should be
The air is not as clean
People look down on you

Chorus
All I really want is a place to stand
I know that I can be strong
Given the chance, I can be more productive
I'm sure there's a place out there
