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 bu-m 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
