Stand And Be Counted Lyrics - Crosby Stills Nash

David Crosby / James Raymond 

There was a peace of a song I heard the other day 

Some words I heard this singer say 

Something in me loved the way that it sounded 

When he said how he wanted to stand 

Stand and be counted 

Now, sometimes I talk to myself in the early dawn 

Before all the fragments of my dreams are gone 

Things you don't know why your mind held on to 

Or else sometimes you know more than you want to

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Stand an be counted, stand on the truth 

Stand on your honor, stand and be counted 

And I wonder who that kid was standing brave and trim 

And I hear myself breathe and I know that I was him 

Defender of the poor and those who cannot speak 

I thought I'd be standing by the dam trying to stop the leak 

So concerned with matters of the heart 

And knowing the millenium was just about to start 

And knowing that somehow we could make a difference 

I want to stand alone in front of the world and that oncoming tank 

Like that Chinese boy that we all have to thank 

He showed us in a picture that I have mounted 

Excactly what it means to stand and be counted
