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
