It's been so easy for so many years
It seemed as if our lives were charmed
But nothing's quite as clear as it appears
And no one gets through life unharmed
My limitations are well-known to you
Even when I try to hide a few
But you can count on me to see you through
I will be your stand up man
I will be there as your stand up man
I will hold your hand
I will be there when you call
Yes, I will be there as your stand up man
I understand
I will catch you if you fall
Even if I don't achieve great things
In the little things I can
Be there when you need me
I will be your stand up man
You're the one who really cares for me
More than family, more than friends
I've got your back and I will shine for you
When a darker sky descends
My harsh words have sometimes flown at you
I'm ashamed to even say it's true
But you can count on me to see you through
I will your stand up man
I will be there as your stand up man
I will hold your hand
I will be there when you call
Yes, I will be there as your stand up man
I understand
I will catch you if you fall
Even if I don't achieve great things
In the little things I can
Be there when you need me
I will be your stand up man
Even if I don't achieve great things
In the little things I can
Be there when you need me
I will be your stand up man
