No way I'm never letting anybody take me down, kick me round
Cause man I've been working too damn hard for you to take my pride
Oh, you can try

And nothing you could say and nothing you could do is gonna get in my way
No, not today
There must be something in the wires
Trying to take me higher, woah
(Cause from now on)

I'll be standing tall
Standing right where I belong
Tell everybody that next you see me
I'll be standing tall
Tall as any mountain
Oh yeah
Next time you see me
I'll be standing tall

You can catch an airplane
You can ride a hurricane
But I ain't stepping down
Not in my hometown
You could try to play cool
Go do what you do
But I don't suffer fools
Not like you

And nothing you could say and nothing you could do is gonna get in my way
No, not today
There must be something in the wires
Trying to take me higher, woah
(Cause from now on)

I'll be standing tall
Standing right where I belong
Tell everybody that next you see me
I'll be standing tall
Tall as any mountain
Oh yeah
Next time you see me
I'll be standing tall

Gonna raise my hands up high
Until I touch the sky, woah woah

I'll be standing tall
Standing right where I belong
Tell everybody that next you see me
I'll be standing tall
Tall as any mountain
Oh yeah
Next time you see me
I'll be standing tall
That's right
