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 the road so long we're gonna have to drive If you don't stand for something, you will fall 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 tried to scrub them clean Do we mean the things we do, do we do the things we mean When a child is born, is it because she has sinned If she tries to stand for something, will she take the fall for everything When the day has come your shadow lost it's light Will you see in the darkness who was wrong and who was right Will the devil pay your tab and take you home with him 'Cause you either stand for something or you fall for anything
