I get up
When I’m knocked down
Keep on going
Put my feet back on the ground
You can laugh
See me as the clown
I keep moving
My head held high all over town
I might be nobody to you
And you might think
You’re someone better than me
I’ll tell you something brother
This standing man is free
I’m the standing man
Don’t push me
I’m the the standing man
Standing man is free
I’ve been a survivor
Since I was a kid
Got up off the ground so many times
The clouds are where I live
I might be a dreamer
Lost in my own thought
I’m a standing man
I cannot be bought
I’d catch you but you’re already caught
