Listen not to ones who preach 

Those who feel you're a freak 

Everything about you is wrong 

You must be sick, you don't belong 



Father said, worry not what they say 

Use your mind, your own free will 

In a time when everyone follows 

Ignorance can kill 



They only say what they want you to hear 

Half-truths have been twisted to conceal your fate 

In a world of spoon-fed emotion 

Intelligence can save 



[chorus] 

Stand alone 

Hear what I say 

Stand alone 

You will seize the day 



Son, say what you mean, don't be afraid 

Tell them how you feel, hear what I say 

Be true to yourself and true to your own 

Your spirit will crush the hearts of stone 



Stand alone 

Hear what I say 

Stand alone 

It's a leap of faith
