Some days you don't understand
All the world looks upside down
When you're trying to be strong
Nothing ever falls in place

Don't give up and let your shadows swallow up your mind
No, that's no way to treat yourself - just leave your doubts behind

Stand up - for what you're fightin' for
Stand up - just don't take anymore
Stand up - for what you're fightin' for my friends
Stand up - for what you're fightin' for
Stand up - some things you can't ignore
Stand proud - for what your fightin' for my friends
Oh, oh!

When accusations put you down
And people talk behind your back
Turn your head and walk away
Never let them see you frown

Don't give up and let your shadows swallow up your mind
No, that's no way to treat yourself - just leave your doubts behind

Stand up - for what you're fightin' for
Stand up - just don't take anymore
Stand up - for what you're fightin' for my friends
Stand up - for what you're fightin' for
Stand up - some things you can't ignore
Stand proud - for what your fightin' for my friends

Don't give up and let your shadows swallow up your mind
No, that's no way to treat yourself - just leave your doubts behind

Stand up - for what you're fightin' for
Stand up - just don't take anymore
Stand up - for what you're fightin' for my friends
Stand up - for what you're fightin' for
Stand up - some things you can't ignore
Stand proud - for what your fightin' for my friends

Stand up - for what you're fightin' for
Stand up - just don't take anymore
Stand up - for what you're fightin' for my friends
Stand up - for what you're fightin' for
Stand up - some things you can't ignore
Stand proud - for what your fightin' for my friends

Stand up
Stand up
Stand proud
Stand up

Bonnie Tyler

Bonnie Tyler (born Gaynor Hopkins) was born on June 8, 1951 in Skewen, Wales. She was one of the most famous singers in the 80’s and is known for her noticeably rough and husky vocals.

Her first single, charting at #9 in her home country, “Lost In France,” put her in the public eye. After a bit of silence throughout the late 70s and early 80s, her best-selling and best-performing single on the charts of all time, “Total Eclipse of The Heart,” was released. Her 5th album, Faster Than The Speed of Night, also topped the charts in a few countries possibly because it contained Total Eclipse. Another notable song, “Holding Out for a Hero,” was released one year later for the Footloose soundtrack.

Tyler married Robert Sullivan, an Olympic judo contestant in 1973. They have no children. As of 2018, she is 66 years old and still in good health.
