Various Artists - Just Stand Up! Lyrics
The heart is stronger than you think
It’s like it can go through anything
And even when you think it can’t it finds a way to still
push on, though
Carrie: Sometime you want to run away
Ain’t got the patience for the pain
And if you don’t believe it look into your heart
the beat goes on
Rihanna: I’m tellin’ you
Things get better
Through whatever
If you fall, dust it off, don’t let up
Sheryl: Don’t you know you can go be your own miracle
Beyoncé: You need to know
CHORUS
Sheryl: If the mind keeps thinking you’ve had enough
But the heart keeps telling you don’t give up
Sheryl/Beyoncé: Who are we to be questioning,
wondering what is what
Don’t give up
THROUGH IT ALL, JUST STAND UP!
Fergie: It’s like we all had better days
Problems getting all up in your face
Leona: Just because you go through it,
Fergie: don’t mean it got to take control, no
Leona: You ain’t gotta find no hiding place
Keyshia: Because the heart can beat the hate
Leona: Don’t wanna let your mind keep playin’ you
Keyshia: and sayin’ you can’t go on
Rihanna: I’m tellin’ you
Miley: Things get better
Rihanna: Through
Miley: whatever
Rihanna: If you fall,
Miley: dust it off, don’t let up
LeAnn: Don’t you know you
Natasha: You can go
LeAnn: be your own
Natasha: miracle
Carrie: You need to know
Ensemble: CHORUS
If the mind keeps thinking you’ve had enough
Melissa: (ad libs) I’ve had enough
But the heart keeps telling you don’t give up
Melissa: (ad libs) No, don’t you give up
Who are we to be questioning, wondering what is what
Don’t give up
Melissa: (ad libs) Don’t give up! Just stand up!
THROUGH IT ALL, JUST STAND UP!
IF WE ALL, JUST STAND UP!
Mary: You don’t gotta be a prisoner in your mind
Ciara: If you fall, dust it off
Mary: You can live your life
Rihanna/Carrie: Yeah
Mary: Let your heart be your guide
Rihanna/Carrie: Yeah Yeah Yeah
Mariah: And you will know that you’re good
if you trust in the good
Ashanti: Everything will be alright, yeah
Light up the dark, if you follow your heart
Mary: And it will get better,
Mariah: through whatever
Ensemble: CHORUS
If the mind keeps thinking you’ve had enough
But the heart keeps telling you don’t give up
Who are we to be questioning, wondering what is what
Don’t give up
THROUGH IT ALL, JUST STAND UP!
Ensemble: CHORUS
If the mind keeps thinking you’ve had enough
But the heart keeps telling you don’t give up
Who are we to be questioning, wondering what is what
Don’t give up
THROUGH IT ALL, JUST STAND UP!
Fergie: You got in you, find it within
You got in now, find it within now
You got in you, find it within
You got in now, find it within now
You got in you, find it within
You got in now, find it within now
Find it within you, Find it within
Everyone: THROUGH IT ALL, JUST STAND UP!

I liked this song alot but couldn’t stand it because of Cyrus. Thank goodness someone I knew took it upon themselves to record and dim Cyrus’ voice down…. Nothing against Cyrus personally (of course).

I love this song! God blessed all those young woman with beautiful voices. Miley sang out of tune though. I have nothin’ against her though, I’m just saying it woulndn’t hurt Miley to take voice lessons! She used to be a really good singer like when she was 12, and 13, and 14. But sadly, i really think that she ruined her voice. She rocks out too hard when she’s live, and after years of doing that to her voice, she’s paying a high price for it! She loosing her ability to sing! Like i said, Miley used to have a very good voice. But if you want to hear bad voice, listen to “Party in the USA”!!! She sounds like a dying moose in that song! I somewhat like her. She ain’t the best! Selena and Demi are the BEST! And Selena and Demi don’t take half naked pictures of themselves!! Noughty Miley! She says that she’s a Christian. But i don’t think a real Christian should and would do that! I thought her parents raised her better then that! I think Miley is okay, but i’m disapointed with some of the choices she’s making right now, example: POLE DANCING AT THE 2009 KIDS CHOICE AWARDS INFRONT OF THOUSANDS OF BOYS AND GIRLS, MILEY WAS WEARING SHORT SHORTS, {When i say short, i mean you could barley tell she was wearing any pants at all!} And she had a very tight shirt on. And in the middle of Pary in the USA Live, she stared poll dancing!!!
AND SHE ALSO TALKes STRIPERS PICS OF HERDSELF AND POSTS THEM ON THE WEB and calls them “ART” THat’s not art miley!
