From the Album: I Stand
Lyrics by: Idina Menzel/Glen Ballard

Piano Intro
Intro:     (2x)

            
When you ask me
     
Who I am
          
What is my vision
    
Do I have a plan
           
Where is my strength
                 
Have I nothing to say
          
I hear the words in my head
                 
But I push them away

CHORUS:
                       
  Cause I stand for the power to change
               
  I live for the perfect day
                
  I love till it hurts like crazy
                
  I hope for a hero to save me
                    
  I stand for the strange and lonely
                    
  I believe there’s a better place
                     
  I don’t know if the sky is heaven
              
  But I pray anyway

(The same as the first verse)
And I don’t know what tomorrow brings
The road less traveled
Will it set us free?
Cause we’re taking it slow
These tiny legacies
I don’t try and change the world
But what will you make of me

I stand for the power to change
I live for the perfect day
I love till it hurts like crazy
I hope for a hero to save me
I stand for the strange and lonely
I believe there’s a better place
I don’t know if the sky is heaven
But I pray anyway

         
With the slightest of breezes
    
We fall just like leaves
                                
As the rain washes us from the ground
       
We forget who we are
          
We can’t see in the dark
                                
And we quickly get lost in the crowd

                            
Ohhh....

                       
  Cause I stand for the power to change
               
  I live for the perfect day
                
  I love till it hurts like crazy
                
  I hope for a hero to save me

                       
  Cause I stand for the power to change
               
  I live for the perfect day
                
  I love till it hurts like crazy
                
  I hope for a hero to save me
                    
  I stand for the strange and lonely
                    
  I believe there’s a better place
                     
  I don’t know if the sky is heaven
              
  But I pray anyway
