Woe, Is Me - Stand Up

This is the beginning - of a new lease on life
This freedom,- this passion is how we survive
Only got one life - one chance
to show what I got - and nothing will ever
take this from me
You can never take this from me

Whatever happened to just - wanting to live your dream,
when no one cared about - the cover of a magazine
This is the price I pay - for the life I've made,
but I'm always finding a way to - Stand up,
can't you hear the - sound of - a thousand screaming voices,
eager to watch you succeed - Give them something real to believe

You'll try everything - to sell your soul for a quick buck,
so look at it this way
Tried to control my life - but I've got something to say
Your words, they make me sick,
mind-blown by all the constant bullshit
Go back to your pathetic life - and let me be

Whatever happened to - just wanting to live your dream,
when no one cared about - the cover of a magazine
This is the price I pay - for the life I've made,
but I'm always finding a way to - Stand up,
can't you hear the - sound of - a thousand screaming voices,
eager to watch you succeed
Give them something - real to believe

This is a song for the times I've failed
This is a song for the times I got it right 
Maybe I'm just a boy - with a dream,
but my dreams are becoming a reality
This is a song for the times you've failed
This is a song for the times you got it right
Maybe you're just someone with a dream,
but your dreams are so close you just have to believe it

Stand up, can't you hear the sound, - of a thousand screaming voices

Whatever happened to - just wanting to live your dream,
when no one cared about - the cover of a magazine
This is the price I pay - for the life I've made,
but I'm always finding a way to - Stand up,
can't you hear the - sound of - a thousand screaming voices,
eager to watch you succeed
Give them something - real to believe

This song always got me thru some tough times in my life ive dealt with alot of bullying growing up being black and liking music like this ive always got made fun of i vividly remember hearing this song for the first time wen i was younger n i cried this song is so beautiful ❤

[fulckkckc]

woe, is me has been one of my favorite bands for a while. I've gone through many bands but woe is me has always had a special spot on my list

[alicexhearts]

I miss Woe Is Me, I used to be obsessed with this band in junior high. :0

[JohnnyJewfro]

the singers might have left woe is me, but the beauty of their music never left.

[Chiquivalero]

Watching this 2020, still love Woe, Is Me

[MitchellDee]

Thanks man I appreciate the support, glad people see eye-to-eye with me on this and aren't afraid to admit it.

[silverdragonb]

This is a song for the times you've failed, this is a song for the times you got it right. Maybe you're just someone with a dream, but your dreams are so close you just have to believe!

[Farenanda]

Yes I agree. I've seen them live only once, and I can tell you his stage-act and scream sound pretty amazing. He seems like a nice person and he does fit the band. Hance does amazing too, they're both amazing. Agree, mate.

[tommychambliss]

Bought this on release day. The ONLY CD I ever bought with 5 tracks on it. 12 bucks well spent

[xdeathoreox]

This is the kind of song that should be on the radio.

[DesireProductionXO]

I like woe is me & issues, so stop hating and enjoy their music they make for their fans.

[StrengthLegacy]

They're talking about believing that you can make your dreams a reality, to stand up for what you wanna do. Pretty honest and humble topic in my opinion.

[clix]

It took me a whole 2 years to finally realize what made this song sound so familiar (this is no trash talk in any way btw). Its LITERALLY the same exact song as I've Told You Once, not by sound but structure wise. If you listen to both songs numerous times, you'll notice this is literally set up the same way I've told you once was, just faster and with more riffs. They're both essentially the SAME SONG with different tempos

[silvershade]

This band would reach so many if they didn’t break up

[SoulAlchemist]

What ever happened to just listening to the music you liked and not complaining?

[AndrewExperience]

I don't understand how people didn't like Genesis. It goes so hard and has so much energy

[jasonbentley]

How can anyone dislike this song? Lyrics are so good and the tune itself is knarly

[EvanLikesToDrum]

Oh my gosh this makes so much sense! in King of Amarillo by Issues it says "If you dont like us go listen to Genesis" Like the album by Woe is me and the lead singers are from Woe is me XD I finally get i!

[Idog]

Whoever makes these lyric videos at Rise should get a raise

[xVocalx]

Their first album was supposed to sound like one consistent song, if you'd listen to the entire album completely through, it's meant to sound like the songs don't actually end, but lead into each other.
