Lyrics
When you cry
Expressing empathy for someone who is crying.
I know you've got a good reason to cry
Acknowledging that there is a valid reason behind the tears.
If you can't come
Suggesting that if someone can't attend, there's a genuine reason, not just an excuse.
I know it's not just an alibi
Acknowledging the sincerity of the reasons for not being able to come.
Now I hear things that are better kept under the hat
Referring to hidden or private information that should be kept confidential.
Who backs it up?
Raising a question about who supports or validates the aforementioned information.
Look at your hand, you can count on that
Encouraging self-assurance by pointing out one's own capabilities.
When you talk, it's hard to disagree
Highlighting the persuasive or convincing nature of the person's speech.
And when you dance, you're talking to me
Noting that the act of dancing is a form of communication.
When you stand, you stand for something
Emphasizing the importance of taking a stand for a principle or belief.
Stand for something
Reiterating the significance of standing for something meaningful.
They can't dim your flame
Asserting that external forces cannot diminish one's passion or commitment.
When you stand, you stand for something
Reaffirming the importance of taking a stand and its lasting impact.
Stand for something
Reiterating that standing for something cannot be easily influenced or changed.
They can't bend your stream
Stressing the resilience and steadfastness of one's beliefs or values.
Here I stand
Declaring a personal stance or position.
Outside the world of political
Positioning oneself outside the conventional political landscape.
I would not lose that
Expressing the importance of not sacrificing personal principles for political gain.
For all the gold in South Africa
Valuing personal integrity over material wealth.
What you wear did not come easy
Acknowledging the effort and significance behind personal choices in attire.
What you hear sounds different to me
Highlighting individual perception and interpretation of sounds or information.
When you stand, you're standing next to me
Emphasizing unity and solidarity when taking a stand.
You put your foot down every day
Encouraging consistent and assertive behavior in daily life.
Make sure you bring it down on the up beat
Advising to make impactful decisions with a positive and optimistic approach.
So walk away those feet of clay
Encouraging the rejection of weaknesses and standing up for what is right.
We are fighting and dancing in the street
Portraying a combination of resistance and celebration in the face of challenges.
