Is the world so big, it makes you feel small?
Is the hole you dig deep enough at all?
The graveyard is full, my grandma used to say
If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything
Is time worth saving in paper dollar bills?
'Cause we always just done it don't mean we always will
Is it worth singing along if you have a song to sing?
If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything
Can one single person make a change if they try?
It's true all the martyrs that ever lived already died
Is a road so long gonna have to drive?
If you don't stand for something you will' too far behind
Is there meaning in all these words that we say?
Is there reason for living life anyway?
Is confusion a state like Iowa or Maine?
If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything
Are the waters so rough 'cause we try to scrub 'em clean?
Do the mean things we do, do we do the things we mean?
When a child is born, is it 'cause she has sin?
If she tries to stand for something she'd take the fall for everything
When the day has come, your shadow lost its light
Will you see in the darkness who was wrong and who was right?
Will the devil pay your tab, take you home with him?
'Cause you either stand for something or you fall for anything
