http://www.willustand.com/willUstand believes bystanders can make a difference and that when someone stands for another, they gift hope.
Stand the Anthem was inspired and is sung by Vermont thirteen-year-old, Charleigh Gere.
After experiencing bullying, she and her family wanted to find a way to encourage youth to be the "one voice unafraid" to stand for others.
Verse 1:
Every morning's the same old thing
as she walks through the halls being called the same names
No one knows all the tears she's cried
or how many times she's considered suicide
Prechorus:
But all it takes is one voice unafraid to say...
Chorus:
I will stand beside you
Will you stand with me, dig your feet into
The earth, cuz she's worth
Somebody to catch her
Let's join together and
Stand
Verse 2:
All alone he's just sitting there
As he watches the clock thinking, "Nobody cares"
But on the inside he's crying out
Painfully dreading the fight he won't talk about
Prechorus:
But all it takes is one voice unafraid to say...
Chorus 2:
I will stand beside you
Will you stand with me, dig your feet into
The earth, cuz he's worth
Somebody to catch him
Let's join together and
Stand
Will you stand
Verse 3:
All in all I've seen better days
I've been hurt, I've been broken in every way
But I now stand in confidence
All because someone stood up in my defense
Prechorus:
Cuz all it takes is one voice unafraid to say...
Chorus 3:
I will stand beside you
Will you stand with me, dig your feet into
The earth, cuz they're worth
Somebody to catch them
Let's join together and
Stand
Will you stand with me, dig your feet into
The earth, cuz you're worth
Somebody to catch you
Let's join together and
Stand
Will you Stand...
