(I felt the need to put a picture of Poison from the 80s and from today because there are a few differences ;) Not many people are used to seeing Bret Michaels with glam-band, metal hair and make up! I LOVE POISON!!!!!!)
"Stand"
Poison
Poison
We all carry the cross and speak what we're taught
Lies and money become the white man's god
We've burned all our bridges one too many times
The time has come now to draw the line
You know you've got to
Stand, stand, stand for what you believe
You know you've got to
Stand, stand, stand for what you believe
Ohh, You got to...Stand for what you believe
Alright, alright
Oooh You got to listen now...
Express yourself in the face of change
Repress yourself, you surely seal your fate
You got to look inside, the answer lies in wait
Resurrect before it's too late
You know you've got to
Stand, stand, stand for what you believe
You know you've got to
Stand, stand, stand for what you believe
Ohh, You got to...Stand for what you believe
Somebody rescue me, come down and rescue me
I know the soul of a good man has got to be free
When you stand, stand for what you believe
You know you've got to
Stand, stand, stand for what you believe
You know you've got to
Stand, stand, stand for what you believe
Ohh, You got to...Stand for what you believe
Over the last year I have come to absolutely love Bret Michales and Poison. Although they may not be the most talented musicians out there, they have so much energy and personality that I can't help but get pumped up when I hear them. Over the summer I saw them live at PNC Bank Arts Center and it was by far the best concert I have ever been to as well as one of the greatest nights of my life. If I can figure out how, I will post some of the pictures I took from that night.
Anyway, "Stand" is a less energetic song that is different from Poison's normal hair-metal genre but its packs more of a punch and sends out more of a message than the rest of their songs combined. I love the message and "Stand' and I live by it everyday I walk this earth. The name says it all..."STAND". We all have to "stand for what we believe." The most important gift that we as people are granted is to form our own opinion and thoughts and to believe what we want to believe. We are nothing if we can't express our feelings and stand up for what we believe in.
I have made it a point in my life to always express myself freely and hold nothing back. I am not afraid to say what I think and think whatever I want. I find it disheartening that so many people are afraid to express themselves for fear of what others might say. What I have to say is stand up for what you believe and let no one tell you differently.
(Pictures from the Poison concert in July of 2008. It was AWESOME!!!! Believe me, these are only a few of many, many, many pictures. Enjoy!)
