Stand and Be Counted (Album Version)

Stand And Be Counted - Crosby & Still & Nash & Young

There was a peace of a song I heard the other day

Some words I heard this singer say

Something in me loved the way that it sounded

When he said how he wanted to stand

Stand and be counted

Now sometimes I talk to myself in the early dawn

Before all the fragments

Of my dreams are gone

Things you don't know why

Your mind held on to

Or else sometimes you know

More than you want

Stand an be counted

Stand on the truth

Stand on your honor

Stand and be counted

And I wonder who that kid was

Standing brave and trim

And I hear myself breathe and I

I know that I was him

Defender of the poor and those

Who cannot speak

I thought I'd be standing by the dam

Trying to stop the leak

Stand an be counted

Stand on the truth

Stand on your honor

Stand and be

So concerned

With matters of the heart

And knowing the millenium was just about to start

And knowing

That somehow

We could make a difference

I want to stand alone in front of

The world and that oncoming tank

Like that Chinese boy

That we all have to thank

He showed us in a picture that I have mounted

Excactly what it means to stand

And be counted

Stand an be counted

Stand on the truth

Stand on your honor

Stand and be stand and be

Stand an be counted

Stand on the truth

Stand on your honor

Stand and be

Stand

Stand an be counted

Stand on the truth

Stand on your honor
