3.Stand Down
Piercing screams into the night, oh you can hear the babies
crying
He's drinking again starts swinging and, she's beaten black and
blue whoa oh her head is spinning
Girl you gotta get up
Find the courage and be tough
Hopefully one day somebody will stand up and say
Take your hands off of her, stand down
You's a big man now
Take your hands off of her, stand down
Because you're the man don't mean you wear the crown
Another shot rings out to the night
His fists hits the side of her head
As she hits the ground
Such a lonely sound
He leaves her where she lies she starts to cry
The door slams shut, still doesn't get up
Voice from the bedroom Mama, you okay？
She lifts her head up to see if it's safe
Take your hands off of her, stand down
You's a big man now
Take your hands off of her, stand down
Because you're the man don't mean you wear the crown
Girl you got to be strong
Get up and move on
Hurry now, don't have long
Grab the kids and run
Take your hands off of her, stand down
You's a big man now
Take your hands off of her, stand down
Because you're the man don't mean you wear the crown
