Stand Lyrics By R E M

    stand in the place where you live
    now face north
    think about direction
    wonder why you haven’t before
    now stand in the place where you were
    now face west
    think about the place where you live
    wonder why you haven’t before

    if you are confused check with the sun
    carry a compass to help you along
    your feet are going to be on the ground
    your head is there to move you around

    stand in the place where you live
    now face north
    think about direction
    wonder why you haven’t before
    now stand in the place where you were
    now face west
    think about the place where you live
    wonder why you haven’t before

    your feet are going to be on the ground
    your head is there to move you around
    if wishes were trees the trees would be falling
    listen to reason the season is calling

    stand in the place where you live
    now face north
    think about direction
    wonder why you haven’t before
    now stand in the place where you were
    now face west
    think about the place where you live
    wonder why you haven’t before

    if wishes were trees the trees would be falling
    listen to reason reason is calling
    your feet are going to be on the ground
    your head is there to move you around

    so stand stand
    now face north
    think about direction
    wonder why you haven’t before
    now stand stand
    now face west
    think about the place where you live
    wonder why you haven’t

    stand in the place where you live
    now face north
    think about direction
    wonder why you haven’t before
    now stand in the place where you were
    now face west
    think about the place where you live
    wonder why you haven’t before

    stand in the place where you are
    now face north
    stand in the place where you are
    now face west
    your feet are going to be on the ground
    stand in the place where you are
    your head is there to move you around so stand
