Stand Up Lyrics

It's time to open up the memories of your past
And its time to move on
It's time to open up the shadows of your heart
And it's time to move on

Cause it's a great time to live and it's time to
Stand up and be counted on
Cause it's a great time to live and it's time to
Stand up and be counted on

It's time to open up and shed a little light
On your soul
Cause the box you put your heartache in got
Lost or swept out to sea
Now it's time just to move on

And it's a long long road to carry on I've got to
Stand up and be counted on, It's a long long
Road and I've got to be strong. (x2)

Yea it's a long long road to carry on I've got to
Stand up and be counted on. It's a long long
Road and I've got to be strong. (x2)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think its about getting over a death, like the "box you put your heartache in got Lost or swept out to sea" part is beginning to get over someone who as just passed and the line before it about shedding a little light is all about bringing light back into your own life. The stand up part is just about getting back on your feet after dealing with the loss of some1 close 2 you, thats just my thoughts, could be completely wrong
