Stand and Be Counted Lyrics

There was a piece 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
Stand and be counted, stand on the truth Stand on your honor, stand and be counted
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 can not speak Thought I'd be standing by the dam trying to stop the leak
Stand and be counted, stand on the truth Stand on your honor, stand and be [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/stand-and-be-counted-lyrics-crosby-stills-nash.html ]
So concerned with matters of the heart And knowing the millennium was just about to start And knowing that somehow we can 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 Exactly what it means to stand and be counted
Stand and be counted, stand on the truth Stand on your honor, stand and be
Stand and be counted, stand on the truth Stand on your honor, stand and be
Stand and be counted, stand on the truth Stand on your honor
