Love brings a change
I wanna take a chance
And let it grow
I trust my feelings
I wanna be with you
Wherever you go

Oh baby
We’re more than friends
So precious it should never end
Oh baby
Can’t help but win

Stand up, say it loud
What we need is a lot more love
Stand up, say it loud
What we need is a lotta good good love

Tonight is our turn
We have the opportunity
Don’t be afraid
Want to make you happy
Satisfy the dreams inside our heads

Ooh daylight comes around so fast
I wanna make this evening last
Ooh baby, I’ve given my best

Stand up, say it loud
What we need is a lotta love
Stand up, shout it out
What we need is a lot more love

Ooh baby, new dreams to share
And someone that will truly care
If you’re lonely
I will always be there

Stand up, say it loud
What we need is a lot more love
Stand up, shout it out
What we need is a lotta good good love

About Lyrics and Stand Up by Santana

The lyrics for Stand Up are made up of the words, verses and background chorus for the popular 1979 song by Santana. Like a lot of songs, the lyrics to Stand Up have both direct meanings and metaphorical context hidden within the song's words. All of the meanings are only truly known by the creators of the lyrics for Stand Up - Santana and any of the writers who worked with them on the song.

If you have an interest in the structure of words and phrases, you can dissect the lyrics to Stand Up by Santana in multiple ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Stand Up" means the words set to the music of Stand Up, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Santana. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Stand Up and the lyrics to Stand Up are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Santana who came here looking just for the lyrics to Stand Up, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
