You Stood Up Lyrics - 2004
When I was a kid I made a promise to myself
To get me all the finer things in life
I've been on a mission since the day that I was born
But nothing comes without a sacrifice
All that I could think of was how happy I would be
When I got everything that I would do, yeah
I got to where I wanted but finally I see
The only thing I really want is you
Earth, wind and fire
It's bringing me down, you're my only desire
Earth, wind and fire
Only your love can take me higher
I've been at the crossroads where you're gonna sell your soul
I thought the deal was I would get it all
I didn't see it coming I was moving way too fast
That's what happens when you're on a roll
I hope I'll be forgiven the mistakes that I have made
But certain things can never be undone
I don't know where I'm going or where I'm heading to
All I know is where I'm coming from
Now I will give it away
If I could go back in time I'll make a change
No classes to hide or pay (that line is so wrong, sorry ppl!)
If only for a night
If only for a day
Earth, wind and fire
It's bringing me down, you're my only desire
Earth, wind and fire
Only your love can take me higher
If I can't have you then I don't want nothing at all
I need you there to catch me if I should fall
If I can't have you then I don't want nothing at all
I need you there to catch me if I should fall
Earth, wind and fire
It's bringing me down, you're my only desire
Earth, wind and fire
Only your love can take me higher
Yea-eh-yea...
Earth, wind and fire
It's bringing me down, you're my only desire
Earth, wind and fire
Only your love can take me higher
