this song i play for my son it is who he is after years of bullying from other students he took back the power they stole from him, and the pain i couldnt protect him from
I'm here! Need to remind myself of this song and it's meaning. Have a high risk pregnancy, my house is ripped apart, have electrical issues, and not sure if I can do this anymore. I just have to bend a little more.
Ephesians 6:13 "Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand."
My Dad was the epitome of this song. Never met a man who had so much adversity in his life who just kept Standing up when knocked down. He worked from 13 years old on. As a young man had to pick up his abusive drunk father out of the alley after he passed out. He was a soldier wounded many times in war. He had three heart attacks and a stroke. Lost a child as a baby. Lost my mom to cancer and took care of her until she died. He lost a son-in-law who was like a son. Almost lost his farm several times because of poor health. He never drank and never hit us kids. He loved us and hugged us and he stood for as long as he could and then when he couldn’t I proudly pushed him around in a wheelchair. We took care of him until last six months of his life when we finally had to put him in a nursing home. He lived to 92 and now he lives forever with Jesus. I love you Dad and I hope I’m half the man you were.
I hadn't been able to cry for some time, this made me shed a few tears. Your dad kept pushing through and "STAND"ing". May he hear His voice, and come out of the grave in the resurrection to a better life. John 5: 28 and 29.
Opened my old Rascal Flatts folder on my drive, and turned on this song. I totally forgot how amazing it is. Modern country music from the 2000s used to be so unique and powerful and special. Now, there are so few country songs with those qualities. Most of the songs on country radio have the same recycled sounds and beats, and none of them have any actual substance.
I'm a self-injurer in recovery. I haven't cut in a little over two years. I heard this song one day on my way home from therapy & had to pull over because I was crying so hard. This song spoke to me on a near spiritual level & became my fight song.
This is a inspirational song.. I'm a domestic survivor and this has always struck me as a encouraging song to other victims and/or survivors of abuse.. You get pushed so far and then you get mad you get strong walk away don't look back point of no return and then you stop being the victim and you STAND strong and proud as a SURVIVOR!
I hear you. It's hard to realise that it's whole family involved in domestic violence, we get physical violence but also emotional violence from a spouse and chronic fear for children.we are programmed to use words and emotion to attack I think, others use their fists. Devastating. We need to keep talking about this.
Lane Smith I'm sorry. when this album came out I lost my mom and this is the song I listened to again and again on the road to go bury her. so I understand your loss. Be blessed.
This song saved my life! Was Going through an abusive marriage and a bad year following after that. Now I have a wonderful man, great job and a church I call home. Keep holding on. It does get better!
This song completely tears at me, cause I've been feeling kinda helpless lately, like I don't have a place in the world. But this reminded me that NO ONE has a place in the world until they MAKE one. I plan to be a writer, and this band really helps with a lot of their songs. My talent is writing, and I wanna fight for it. It's tough, but for everyone who's ever had something they love, hold on to it and fight for it. Nothing ordains you but YOU.
I have ADHD, Intellectual Disability, and anxiety that is higher than others. I've been bullied most of my life which has impacted my life a lot! I've had moments where I have wanted to end my life. Sometimes I still feel doing it. This song helps a lot!
Christopher B. I don't have epilepsy but I am pretty much in the same boat as you are. No driver's license, been living with my mom all my life and now living in my sister's house with her and my mom. Single as well and been that way pretty much all my life. I am grateful that I at least have a roof over my head because I have been homeless before so I know it can get worse.
I wouldn't wish anxiety on my worst enemy my dad has it bad. I was lucky I dont get it bad like that but sometimes I do but I do have ADHD I constantly have to be doing something.
I really love the words that show up beside the people in this video: 1.) Passion. 2.) Determination. 3.) Courage. 4.) Grace. 5.) Desire. 6.) Expression.
I've had a shit week. This song is a blessing. I really felt like quitting something I loved this week and honestly I don't think I can. I'm gonna keep going and I'm gonna get out of this rutt.
I haven’t heard this song in so long, but now that I’m older, it hits a little harder. I definitely know how strong I am. People always used to tell me that, and I never believed them until this point in my life. It’s a good feeling despite all the negativity around me. Everyone out there looking for strength, I pray you find it. Shake it off, and stand!!
I feel your pain, having only now passed through the pain of a broken heart, a broken marriage of nearly 20 years, basically lost my whole life, yeah this song is medicine to the soul, just know the more you stand the less it hurts... have faith.
This song helped me get through my husbands CANCER an raise 2 small kids. ONE who had autism. IT ROCKS . All while putting my self through college. THANKS!!
I have found this song to be one that has helped me numerous times throughout my life. From being a domestic violence victim to one that has been bullied by peers and relatives for more than 15 years of my life, I have seen times where I never felt like I was good enough. Fast forward to my military career and I have already been put through my biggest fight, in which I have failed out of one job and am now fighting my heart out to make it through new training for a new job within the USAF. Rascal Flatts, thank you for putting this song into my life because it has taught me just how strong I really am
Stand ‘Cause when push comes to shove You taste what you’re made of You might bend ‘til you break ‘Cause it’s all you can take On your knees you look up Decide you’ve had enough You get mad, you get strong Wipe your hands, shake it off Then you stand, then you stand Life’s like a novel with the end ripped out The edge of a canyon with only one way down Take what you’re given before it’s gone And start holdin’ on, keep holdin’ on Every time you get up and get back in the race One more small piece of you starts to fall into place - yeah Yeah then you stand - yeah Yeah, baby Woo hoo, Woo hoo, Woo hoo Then you stand - yeah, yeah
This song is great! Heart problems run in my family a few months ago they thought I had something near my heart. It wasn't a big deal as it ended up to be. I ended up not having heart problems. I was so happy when they said I was fine. I sang this song for a month after that day. Thanks You Rascal Flatts!!
I have a playlist of songs about suicide that I listen to quite often to help me cope with depression. This is the last song in that playlist, and the only hopeful one. Thank you, Rascal Flatts.
Never give up or lose hope, brother. Connect with me, and I will give you the greatest news and inspiration in the history of humanity. When I tell you about a personal relationship with JESUS !!! John 5:24, PTL !!!
Please don't give up. I promise you life will get better and it might not seem it at this time. They are obstacles and things are always come in our ways people that might do things to us that we do not like they will be good and evil in life, but I promise you life is full of blessings and happiness sometime. It might take a couple years to like straightened things out, but I promise you stay strong. And hang in there.
Rascal Flatts literally save my life. Loads of their songs help me realize some things and give me that little bit of hope. And I bet, what they sing about, is what they had to go through. Otherwise those songs wouldn't sound so true. Thanks Rascal Flatts.
This song has changed my life. I keep coming back to it. I'm amazed by how much strength it gives me when I feel like I can't go on. I love Rascal Flatts for giving me the music to believe in myself.
This song has given me SO much strength and fight to get up, stand and keep going. Through everything, this is one of my go to songs.. love it so very much after all these years :)
I lost my mom a year after this came out and I always come back to this song when things go wrong and I feel like I can't take anymore this is one of those times this song came out when I needed it most thanks rascal flats
I used to be so obsessed with this song back in 7th grade and it got me to realize that I wasn't "smart" and that I'm different, I was the only one in my English class that kept the laptop and just kept listening to the song. It really sent me a powerful message that I wish I could've realized sooner. I'm now in 12th grade and I'm still struggling but this song came back to mind and I respect it so much for helping me. It has a powerful message and hopefully, it helps everyone else out as well ❤
I went through a lot of trauma early on in my childhood. This was my favorite song in 4th grade, when I first heard it, at the end of the traumatic years. It got tears outta me. The first song that I carefully listened to and understood in whole. Life's better now. I still love this song. It just hurts a little to realize how young I was to understand every metaphor and feel it that deeply in my heart.
Currently in college studying video production and it is hard with me especially since I have a job, but anytime I feel overwhelmed this song calms me down and it let's me know to never give up.
it is amazing how songs can just speak to people like this one does! it's nice to know that songs like this changes lives for the better! God bless you and everyone who makes an impact like this through music!
I work as an RN on a transplant unit at a hospital. I often play this song through my head to help me get through the day. What a great song! My patients like it as well!
I've been experiencing depression due to the bullying, and mistakes I've been through this year, and when I heard this song today at the restaurant I went to, I swear, I almost cried when I focused on the lyrics and how much they helped me relieve from these bad vibes
I'll give you some advice, I have a 17yr old daughter that was going through the same thing. I PROMISE you the losers that are bullying you are just insecure, immature kids that obviously have no life, if they have time to bully you. Don't stoop to their level, you're better than them. Everybody makes mistakes, in a yr they won't even remember. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Haters are going to hate no matter what, it just makes you stronger. I'm sorry you're going through this, but you will make it through. ❤️
I know the feeling this song helped me to when I was bullied, they came out with just in time for me. If the bullies are being physical let them remember you and get away. The bullies I faced caused me a lot of physical pain and I still suffer from it but I made sure they remembered me, the last fight I was in I snapped 17 against 1, 8 of those kids got the fangs before one kid took my knees out with a baseball bat then I still got one more kid to regret his actions before they the best of me. Don't let them control who you are, you make your own path. In order to stop the fighting you have to fight, you can't always be a sheep sometimes you have to wake up the wolf inside. Be strong your journey has only begun but have faith for God will be there for you ALWAYS!
Consider what you've been going through as the "night before the dawn". Meaning that it will pass and something new and better will arrive. Just make sure you have the wisdom to be able to see it. :)
This song gives me the courage to keep fighting. Kids and teachers at school used to hate me and I was bullied, and sexually harassed. I used to think about killing myself and I thought about slitting my throat, than I thought about over dosing on pills, than I started cutting. I started rebelling and tried to run away from home. Eventually I was put in a program for troubled kids and they really helped me shape up my act.
This CD helped me a lot, my little girl's dad committed suicide in front of her and myself......I listen to this cd for weeks!!!! Idk what it was about it but it just gave me a peach to deal. This and what hurts the most, my wish for you just the whole cd comforted me. Thank you RF
india huffman aaaww im soo sorry to hear u and ur lil girl had to see ur daughter's daddy passed away in front of u both my preys n my heart goes to u both and to ur family
i don't get the people who would ever dislike this song...this so is so good... everyone looks at me like a wimp and says "who would ever want to have a life like that wimp over there." this is the song that got me back on my feet and set me on the right course. i needed some inspiration. but no one would give me any so i just got me some from listening to this song. Thanks Rascal Flatts you gave me the Inspiration i needed to get on the right course of life and get me back on my feet!!!!!!!!!!!
I have loved this song 💟💗 ever since you guys came out with it. It has pulled me through the hardest parts of my life. Thank you for writing a song that was able to help me.
THIS song got me through breast cancer' & a strange now EX husband. u send my breast cancer survivor walk ribbon when u were in Albuquerque. U SAVED MY LIFE>
After losing my grandma passed 3 years ago if I ever felt down or got upset about something, I swear this song got me through all of that and I’m goin thru is again after losing my great grandpa
I have been through things in life that I was not supposed to have survived. I have been through 12 bouts of pneumonia that very nearly killed me, 4 brain surgeries to remove an aggressive and large tumor on my pituitary gland (not malignant but deadly anyway). About 5 years ago, I very nearly had my left foot amputated due to a blood clot. In addition, I have also been in the hospital with severe depression and anxiety. I'm still dealing every day with the after effects of all this. It's not easy. I no longer have a working pituitary gland and that can be fatal. Sometimes don't know whether or not to laugh or to cry. However, against all odds, and due to my unbreakable faith in God, I am still here today. I am still standing!! I was supposed to have died 14 years ago. This song means the world to me. Thank you so much for the upload!!
This song gives me the strength to continue to fight for my children. I have been through hell and back keeping them safe, but unfortunately their mother has mental issues that continues to put them in harms way, and has unlimited funds to keep us in court. I do have custody. There is so, so much more to this than my children will ever know, but that's what a parent has to do. I love my kids more than the world, and I never give up on them. Thank you Rascal Flatts for this inspiring song!
I applaud you! And my best friend. Originally, I thought we were friends because we were so similar. But last year I learned that she has Aspergers and now she is getting into all Pre AP classes. I'm proud of her and I love her. Go Sydney!
They may not see or know everything you do for them but I'm sure they will one day realise how great of a dad you are. I wish your family happiness. My dad's birthday just passed and it felt like he was with me the whole time, I had that sense of warmth and his presence. I didn't cry until the end of the day, and only because it was the end of his special day. Even if it was just probably my imagination, it felt great having his presence around. :) And thank you, very much appreciated
This song has gotten me through so much and I just know it'll get me through a lot in the future. I love it so much and could listen to it all day. Rascal Flatts is the best!
This song is very inspiring to me and everyone else! my story behind the song: I used to self-harm. Never liked my body, I was too skinny for my liking. My dominant hand was broken and I couldn’t write, and I was bullied for almost everything about me. I finally wanted to end my pain. But I wasn’t even the “expected age” for depression. I was only 9. My parents were divorced and my sister and I weren’t getting along. I was in the bathtub, blade in my hand and it was 6 in the morning, Wednesday, a week after I got surgery. The bathroom radio went on and this song was on. I was crying, ready to commit, but this song... It made me realize that no matter what, I can get through it.
heh. i really have grown. i’ve learned to love myself, i’m happy in my body. i have a steady relationship, and i made it to high school. thank you rascal flatts.
I'm 18 (I know I'm young ) but when I lost my brother I turned to drugs at the age of 11 and hung out with the wrong crowd and was going threw deep depression and thought I was worthless (I still kinda do) then I overdosed twice and hoped I would just go and I would be back with my brother but now it's the 19th of august 2017 and Im off everything and training for the military and feeling better and starting to forgive myself for the bad I done because of this song and as I was listening to this song having my last cigarette before I quit and I was looking at the sky and there was two clouds shaped as the numbers "12" the number 12 is my lucky number and then the sun came shining through them I just know god has something good planned for me ☀️🙏🏻
Hey, as long as you're sorry for all the stuff you've done, God WILL forgive you. And obviously you are sorry, because otherwise you wouldn't have turned around like you did. He will forgive you, even though you attempted suicide, as long as you are sorry for it. One question, are you glad you weren't successful at killing yourself? You are not worthless! I'm sure God put you on this earth for a reason, however small a role you think you play.
We are all God's children. We are all equals. No one's better. No one's worse. You are 100% a very good person if you ever need someone to talk to. Joey leininger USA a picture of me next to a car and it was safe from East Greenbush New York. I will be here to talk to anyone who needs anyone to talk to and stay strong. The good Lord is by all of our sides and I promise you. Everybody is meant to be on this road for a reason. Nobody's better. Nobody's worse. We are all equal and I'm very proud that you're doing a lot better in your life. I pray for anyone that is going through a hard time or anything that's happened to anyone that it all goes away. And that's a good lure covers everybody in the blood of Jesus Christ and cast out any evil thing or any thing that's going on in people's life and cover them up lessons. God bless everyone and have a blessed and safe day.
I listened to this while thinking about a fictional character I created when I was ten and started crying. Not sure if that means I'm way too into my own fantasy worlds, or I made a good character. Probably the former.
I have listened to this song many times during my life, and even though i am a strong woman, it has only empowered me to keep moving and realize that the more we STAND the less we FALL, and we can do it!! Its a matter of seeing and putting it all into perspective and knowing that there is a greater plan for everyone!
my daughter absolutely loves this song the first time her teacher at school played it she remember all the words! and sings it every day! then one day her friend came over with a wheelchair and she sang the song that song to him. :)
I'm sorry for your loss but this 😂 and 😅 are both laughing crying faces, not saying it to be mean or rude I'm just saying it because you may want to delete the comment and re do it or something.... Again sorry for your loss may your friend rest in peace
This song helped me through a horrible divorce from a long term abusive marriage. I'd hit rewind 20+ times on the toughest days. God bless Rascal Flatts. I am a strong, confident, healed survivor. This song is still my anthem today. 😘
“Stand" You feel like a candle in a hurricane Just like a picture with a broken frame Alone and helpless Like you've lost your fight But you'll be alright, you'll be alright [Chorus:] 'Cause when push comes to shove You taste what you're made of You might bend, 'til you break 'Cause it's all you can take On your knees you look up Decide you've had enough You get mad, you get strong Wipe your hands, shake it off Then you stand, Then you stand Life's like a novel With the end ripped out The edge of a canyon With only one way down Take what you're given before it's gone And start holding on, keep holding on [Chorus:] 'Cause when push comes to shove You taste what you're made of You might bend 'til you break 'Cause it's all you can take On your knees you look up Decide you've had enough You get mad, you get strong Wipe your hands, shake it off Then you stand, Yeah, then you stand Every time you get up And get back in the race One more small piece of you Starts to fall into place Oh [Chorus] Yeah, then you stand, Yeah, yeah, baby Woo hoo, woo hoo, woo hoo Then you stand, yeah, yeah
The most important thing is to stay strong no matter what someone does or people do to you if you like what I wear if you show and you react to what goes on then they're do more and it will get worse. The most important thing is to stay strong and find someone who you can turn to that you can talk to and Talk to a person about things going on. And I promise you life has many blessings life is very precious. And life will get better. I promise you that it might not seem like everything is going well at this time, but I promise things will get better. It might take a little time, but don't let Noah push you around or make you feel down. We are all amazing. We are all God's children. And we all are equal. So if people do bad things to you just ignore it and try and just walk away or ignore maybe put headsets on if you have to sit near them or something as they say things to you so you can block them out. Stay strong. God bless. Be safe. Back button
I actually have a question for the Rascal Flatts ( if they even see this , if not oh well I tried ) My name is Reba Simard. ( I am using my mothers account ) I am currently working with Reel Youth Ottawa and PACT Ottawa on making awareness videos for human trafficking for sexual exploitation, and my group and I would like to use some of the song Stand, I feel it would be the perfect song to put in between informational slides to make people feel empowered but because it will be going up online and on web sites I'd like to try and get permisson to use ( part of the song ) due to the meaning of the lyrics. If possible it would be really cool to find out by tomorrow, but again I dont know if this post is even going to be seen. So, ya. If so please message me back and let me know asap. Also just love this song.
this song i play for my son it is who he is after years of bullying from other students he took back the power they stole from him, and the pain i couldnt protect him from
Anyone listening in 2024?
Me
Suburban women are listening.
Thinking of my late father
Yup. We here🙋🏻♀️
I'm here! Need to remind myself of this song and it's meaning. Have a high risk pregnancy, my house is ripped apart, have electrical issues, and not sure if I can do this anymore. I just have to bend a little more.
Ephesians 6:13
"Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand."
My Dad was the epitome of this song. Never met a man who had so much adversity in his life who just kept Standing up when knocked down. He worked from 13 years old on. As a young man had to pick up his abusive drunk father out of the alley after he passed out. He was a soldier wounded many times in war. He had three heart attacks and a stroke. Lost a child as a baby. Lost my mom to cancer and took care of her until she died. He lost a son-in-law who was like a son. Almost lost his farm several times because of poor health. He never drank and never hit us kids. He loved us and hugged us and he stood for as long as he could and then when he couldn’t I proudly pushed him around in a wheelchair.

I love you Dad and I hope I’m half the man you were.
May he Rest in Peace, and I hope you are doing okay during this time
🌹👏
I hadn't been able to cry for some time, this made me shed a few tears. Your dad kept pushing through and "STAND"ing". May he hear His voice, and come out of the grave in the resurrection to a better life. John 5: 28 and 29.
😭😭😭
May he Rest In Peace in heaven with his wife and child.
"'For you will know that it's not by might nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lord God Almighty!"'
Best line in the song... "You get mad, you get strong, wipe your hands, shake it off, THEN YOU STAND!
agreed
Yes it is
Agreed! It's how I get thru each each day!
I agree with that one 💯 percent
Stando Power
I dedicate this song to my dad,who is in remission from renal cancer. Fight, Daddy!

Now, there are so few country songs with those qualities. Most of the songs on country radio have the same recycled sounds and beats, and none of them have any actual substance.
Sad truth, my dear. Sad truth.
I'm a self-injurer in recovery. I haven't cut in a little over two years. I heard this song one day on my way home from therapy & had to pull over because I was crying so hard. This song spoke to me on a near spiritual level & became my fight song.
congratulations! I'm 6 months clean myself. It gets easier the further you go.
Good job ! I'm a survivor as well although I decided not to keep up with my recovery time.
Becca Mount Good for you .
It speaks to me too
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!
This is a inspirational song.. I'm a domestic survivor and this has always struck me as a encouraging song to other victims and/or survivors of abuse.. You get pushed so far and then you get mad you get strong walk away don't look back point of no return and then you stop being the victim and you STAND strong and proud as a SURVIVOR!
Hello, how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.
I was assault mental physical and sexually at a young with no voice but now I am have a voice that is what this song reminds me of
I hear you. It's hard to realise that it's whole family involved in domestic violence, we get physical violence but also emotional violence from a spouse and chronic fear for children.we are programmed to use words and emotion to attack I think, others use their fists. Devastating. We need to keep talking about this.
This was my mother's and I song. We would always listen to it when times were hard. She passed on now but I still listen to it every now and agian.
Lane Smith I am sorry for your loss praying for you and your family

I was so happy to hear this song in the new Netflix movie, ‘Walk. Ride. Rodeo’!
Who's here in 2024, longing for the days when country music was actually good?
I am going through a tough time of my life ... Thanks Rascal Flatts, I will STAND no matter what!
This song and "See You Again" by Carrie Underwood are two of the most beautiful, inspirational, uplifting songs I've heard.
Provably the other song But That is really powerful and inspirating .
This song completely tears at me, cause I've been feeling kinda helpless lately, like I don't have a place in the world. But this reminded me that NO ONE has a place in the world until they MAKE one. I plan to be a writer, and this band really helps with a lot of their songs. My talent is writing, and I wanna fight for it. It's tough, but for everyone who's ever had something they love, hold on to it and fight for it. Nothing ordains you but YOU.
This is a great message. Thank you. ❤
I have ADHD, Intellectual Disability, and anxiety that is higher than others. I've been bullied most of my life which has impacted my life a lot! I've had moments where I have wanted to end my life. Sometimes I still feel doing it. This song helps a lot!

Christopher B. I don't have epilepsy but I am pretty much in the same boat as you are. No driver's license, been living with my mom all my life and now living in my sister's house with her and my mom. Single as well and been that way pretty much all my life. I am grateful that I at least have a roof over my head because I have been homeless before so I know it can get worse.
Isnt ADHD fun? Think faster but comprehend spoken Words slower. So you look dumb and are called out on it everytime
I've been there myself it wasn't easy. I almost wanted to end my life cause no one cared about me then thanks to this song and some friends I overcame
I wouldn't wish anxiety on my worst enemy my dad has it bad. I was lucky I dont get it bad like that but sometimes I do but I do have ADHD I constantly have to be doing something.
One of the most underrated inspirational song ever💕❤️
I really love the words that show up beside the people in this video:
1.) Passion.
2.) Determination.
3.) Courage.
4.) Grace.
5.) Desire.
6.) Expression.
Have the chorus from this song tattooed on my thigh, such an inspirational song xxxxx
I love this song!! I survived a brain aneurysm 🙌
Hello, how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.
I've had a shit week. This song is a blessing. I really felt like quitting something I loved this week and honestly I don't think I can. I'm gonna keep going and I'm gonna get out of this rutt.
Hello, how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.
I haven’t heard this song in so long, but now that I’m older, it hits a little harder. I definitely know how strong I am. People always used to tell me that, and I never believed them until this point in my life. It’s a good feeling despite all the negativity around me. Everyone out there looking for strength, I pray you find it. Shake it off, and stand!!
This song has helped me tremendously through my recovery as an adult child molestation survivor.
I'm in ASL American Sign Language and we are signing this song for night of ASL and it basically makes me realize what the world is really like
what happened
I feel your pain, having only now passed through the pain of a broken heart, a broken marriage of nearly 20 years, basically lost my whole life, yeah this song is medicine to the soul, just know the more you stand the less it hurts... have faith.
This song helped me get through my husbands CANCER an raise 2 small kids. ONE who had autism. IT ROCKS . All while putting my self through college. THANKS!!
I have found this song to be one that has helped me numerous times throughout my life. From being a domestic violence victim to one that has been bullied by peers and relatives for more than 15 years of my life, I have seen times where I never felt like I was good enough. Fast forward to my military career and I have already been put through my biggest fight, in which I have failed out of one job and am now fighting my heart out to make it through new training for a new job within the USAF. Rascal Flatts, thank you for putting this song into my life because it has taught me just how strong I really am
Stand
‘Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you’re made of
You might bend ‘til you break
‘Cause it’s all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you’ve had enough
You get mad, you get strong
Wipe your hands, shake it off
Then you stand, then you stand
Life’s like a novel with the end ripped out
The edge of a canyon with only one way down
Take what you’re given before it’s gone
And start holdin’ on, keep holdin’ on
Every time you get up and get back in the race
One more small piece of you starts to fall into place - yeah
Yeah then you stand - yeah
Yeah, baby
Woo hoo, Woo hoo, Woo hoo
Then you stand - yeah, yeah
This song is great! Heart problems run in my family a few months ago they thought I had something near my heart. It wasn't a big deal as it ended up to be. I ended up not having heart problems. I was so happy when they said I was fine. I sang this song for a month after that day. Thanks You Rascal Flatts!!
I have a playlist of songs about suicide that I listen to quite often to help me cope with depression. This is the last song in that playlist, and the only hopeful one. Thank you, Rascal Flatts.
Never give up or lose hope, brother. Connect with me, and I will give you the greatest news and inspiration in the history of humanity. When I tell you about a personal relationship with JESUS !!! John 5:24, PTL !!!
This song is my Anthem. It has inspired me to keep moving though times of severe adversity! Bless you Rascal Flatts!
I needed to listen to this. I wanted to give up on just everything....and this song just hit me.
Please don't give up. I promise you life will get better and it might not seem it at this time. They are obstacles and things are always come in our ways people that might do things to us that we do not like they will be good and evil in life, but I promise you life is full of blessings and happiness sometime. It might take a couple years to like straightened things out, but I promise you stay strong. And hang in there.
I wanted to end my life but now idk...
I don’t want to die anymore

+Chelsea Weese That's right
Rascal Flatts literally save my life. Loads of their songs help me realize some things and give me that little bit of hope. And I bet, what they sing about, is what they had to go through. Otherwise those songs wouldn't sound so true. Thanks Rascal Flatts.
This song has changed my life. I keep coming back to it. I'm amazed by how much strength it gives me when I feel like I can't go on. I love Rascal Flatts for giving me the music to believe in myself.

This song has given me SO much strength and fight to get up, stand and keep going. Through everything, this is one of my go to songs.. love it so very much after all these years :)
I lost my mom a year after this came out and I always come back to this song when things go wrong and I feel like I can't take anymore this is one of those times this song came out when I needed it most thanks rascal flats
Hello, how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.
I used to be so obsessed with this song back in 7th grade and it got me to realize that I wasn't "smart" and that I'm different, I was the only one in my English class that kept the laptop and just kept listening to the song. It really sent me a powerful message that I wish I could've realized sooner.
I'm now in 12th grade and I'm still struggling but this song came back to mind and I respect it so much for helping me. It has a powerful message and hopefully, it helps everyone else out as well ❤
Favorite county song
Sent to me by a dear friend. Just what I needed to hear. Thank you Shari.
I went through a lot of trauma early on in my childhood. This was my favorite song in 4th grade, when I first heard it, at the end of the traumatic years. It got tears outta me. The first song that I carefully listened to and understood in whole. Life's better now. I still love this song. It just hurts a little to realize how young I was to understand every metaphor and feel it that deeply in my heart.
Currently in college studying video production and it is hard with me especially since I have a job, but anytime I feel overwhelmed this song calms me down and it let's me know to never give up.
it is amazing how songs can just speak to people like this one does! it's nice to know that songs like this changes lives for the better! God bless you and everyone who makes an impact like this through music!
o.k.
Hello, how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.
I work as an RN on a transplant unit at a hospital. I often play this song through my head to help me get through the day. What a great song! My patients like it as well!
I've been experiencing depression due to the bullying, and mistakes I've been through this year, and when I heard this song today at the restaurant I went to, I swear, I almost cried when I focused on the lyrics and how much they helped me relieve from these bad vibes
I'll give you some advice, I have a 17yr old daughter that was going through the same thing. I PROMISE you the losers that are bullying you are just insecure, immature kids that obviously have no life, if they have time to bully you. Don't stoop to their level, you're better than them. Everybody makes mistakes, in a yr they won't even remember. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Haters are going to hate no matter what, it just makes you stronger. I'm sorry you're going through this, but you will make it through. ❤️
If ur getting bullied there's really only one solution: whip some ass!
I know the feeling this song helped me to when I was bullied, they came out with just in time for me. If the bullies are being physical let them remember you and get away. The bullies I faced caused me a lot of physical pain and I still suffer from it but I made sure they remembered me, the last fight I was in I snapped 17 against 1, 8 of those kids got the fangs before one kid took my knees out with a baseball bat then I still got one more kid to regret his actions before they the best of me. Don't let them control who you are, you make your own path. In order to stop the fighting you have to fight, you can't always be a sheep sometimes you have to wake up the wolf inside. Be strong your journey has only begun but have faith for God will be there for you ALWAYS!
Consider what you've been going through as the "night before the dawn". Meaning that it will pass and something new and better will arrive. Just make sure you have the wisdom to be able to see it. :)
Jaime Aragon hey thx for helpin out and for sayin the kind words i wish more people where like you
This song has motivated my family through so much! This song is inspirational! Love Rascal Flatts!
Hello, how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.
This song has helped me through tough times on countless occasions. LOVE this song
Hello, how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.
This song speaks VOLUME!!! I'm on a long journey of healing from sepsis & gives me strength!! Absolutely LOVE this!! ❤
This song gives me the courage to keep fighting. Kids and teachers at school used to hate me and I was bullied, and sexually harassed. I used to think about killing myself and I thought about slitting my throat, than I thought about over dosing on pills, than I started cutting. I started rebelling and tried to run away from home. Eventually I was put in a program for troubled kids and they really helped me shape up my act.
Thx RF this has gotten me through a lot of hard times because my papa died of Cancer :(.
This CD helped me a lot, my little girl's dad committed suicide in front of her and myself......I listen to this cd for weeks!!!! Idk what it was about it but it just gave me a peach to deal. This and what hurts the most, my wish for you just the whole cd comforted me. Thank you RF

i don't get the people who would ever dislike this song...this so is so good... everyone looks at me like a wimp and says "who would ever want to have a life like that wimp over there." this is the song that got me back on my feet and set me on the right course. i needed some inspiration. but no one would give me any so i just got me some from listening to this song. Thanks Rascal Flatts you gave me the Inspiration i needed to get on the right course of life and get me back on my feet!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello, how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.

ribbon when u were in Albuquerque. U SAVED MY LIFE>
I am also battling cancer and I agree this song just kind of says it all. Keep your head up and I will be praying for you.
This is what bands need to sing about not parties but inspiration
This song has showed me never to give up on what im fighting for
After losing my grandma passed 3 years ago if I ever felt down or got upset about something, I swear this song got me through all of that and I’m goin thru is again after losing my great grandpa
I have been through things in life that I was not supposed to have survived. I have been through 12 bouts of pneumonia that very nearly killed me, 4 brain surgeries to remove an aggressive and large tumor on my pituitary gland (not malignant but deadly anyway). About 5 years ago, I very nearly had my left foot amputated due to a blood clot. In addition, I have also been in the hospital with severe depression and anxiety. I'm still dealing every day with the after effects of all this. It's not easy. I no longer have a working pituitary gland and that can be fatal. Sometimes don't know whether or not to laugh or to cry. However, against all odds, and due to my unbreakable faith in God, I am still here today. I am still standing!! I was supposed to have died 14 years ago. This song means the world to me. Thank you so much for the upload!!
This song gives me the strength to continue to fight for my children. I have been through hell and back keeping them safe, but unfortunately their mother has mental issues that continues to put them in harms way, and has unlimited funds to keep us in court. I do have custody. There is so, so much more to this than my children will ever know, but that's what a parent has to do. I love my kids more than the world, and I never give up on them. Thank you Rascal Flatts for this inspiring song!
Rascal Flatts will forever remind me of my aunt who died. she absolutely loved them. even though it's been years I still think about it.
I was listening to this crying my foster mom came in held me while i cried
I applaud you! And my best friend. Originally, I thought we were friends because we were so similar. But last year I learned that she has Aspergers and now she is getting into all Pre AP classes. I'm proud of her and I love her. Go Sydney!
They may not see or know everything you do for them but I'm sure they will one day realise how great of a dad you are. I wish your family happiness.
My dad's birthday just passed and it felt like he was with me the whole time, I had that sense of warmth and his presence. I didn't cry until the end of the day, and only because it was the end of his special day. Even if it was just probably my imagination, it felt great having his presence around. :)
And thank you, very much appreciated
This song really gives me goosebumps each time I listen to it ;-)
This song has gotten me through so much and I just know it'll get me through a lot in the future. I love it so much and could listen to it all day. Rascal Flatts is the best!
Hello, how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.
Every song Rascal Flatts has created is great.
actually cried during this song. So good!!
This song is very inspiring to me and everyone else! my story behind the song:
I used to self-harm. Never liked my body, I was too skinny for my liking. My dominant hand was broken and I couldn’t write, and I was bullied for almost everything about me. I finally wanted to end my pain. But I wasn’t even the “expected age” for depression. I was only 9. My parents were divorced and my sister and I weren’t getting along. I was in the bathtub, blade in my hand and it was 6 in the morning, Wednesday, a week after I got surgery. The bathroom radio went on and this song was on. I was crying, ready to commit, but this song... It made me realize that no matter what, I can get through it.
Awesome story
thank you for sharing that it helped me to remember that there is always a rainbow after a storm thank you so much
Kitten Storm -Good for you to healed your emotion trauma . Those are the nastiest.
Congratulations for your healed wound.
heh. i really have grown. i’ve learned to love myself, i’m happy in my body. i have a steady relationship, and i made it to high school. thank you rascal flatts.
I'm 18 (I know I'm young ) but when I lost my brother I turned to drugs at the age of 11 and hung out with the wrong crowd and was going threw deep depression and thought I was worthless (I still kinda do) then I overdosed twice and hoped I would just go and I would be back with my brother but now it's the 19th of august 2017 and Im off everything and training for the military and feeling better and starting to forgive myself for the bad I done because of this song and as I was listening to this song having my last cigarette before I quit and I was looking at the sky and there was two clouds shaped as the numbers "12" the number 12 is my lucky number and then the sun came shining through them I just know god has something good planned for me ☀️🙏🏻
Abby Watts wishing you all the luck in the world, stay strong!!
Brittany Jones thank you so much!!x
Abby Watts god has plan just got to keep gojng ❤🙏
Hey, as long as you're sorry for all the stuff you've done, God WILL forgive you. And obviously you are sorry, because otherwise you wouldn't have turned around like you did. He will forgive you, even though you attempted suicide, as long as you are sorry for it. One question, are you glad you weren't successful at killing yourself? You are not worthless! I'm sure God put you on this earth for a reason, however small a role you think you play.
We are all God's children. We are all equals. No one's better. No one's worse. You are 100% a very good person if you ever need someone to talk to. Joey leininger USA a picture of me next to a car and it was safe from East Greenbush New York. I will be here to talk to anyone who needs anyone to talk to and stay strong. The good Lord is by all of our sides and I promise you. Everybody is meant to be on this road for a reason. Nobody's better. Nobody's worse. We are all equal and I'm very proud that you're doing a lot better in your life. I pray for anyone that is going through a hard time or anything that's happened to anyone that it all goes away. And that's a good lure covers everybody in the blood of Jesus Christ and cast out any evil thing or any thing that's going on in people's life and cover them up lessons. God bless everyone and have a blessed and safe day.
I use this song for motivation when I'm having a bad day, it just seems to push out all the bad and bring in the good, really love this song
This was my graduation song and every time I hear it it makes me wanna cry!
I listened to this while thinking about a fictional character I created when I was ten and started crying. Not sure if that means I'm way too into my own fantasy worlds, or I made a good character. Probably the former.
Anti bullying! Stand up for yourself!
And stand up for others!
Love this song. It has pulled me through some dark times in my life.
this song is most definitely is inspirational..
i love this song I play it over and over again
I have listened to this song many times during my life, and even though i am a strong woman, it has only empowered me to keep moving and realize that the more we STAND the less we FALL, and we can do it!! Its a matter of seeing and putting it all into perspective and knowing that there is a greater plan for everyone!
my daughter absolutely loves this song the first time her teacher at school played it she remember all the words! and sings it every day! then one day her friend came over with a wheelchair and she sang the song that song to him. :)
Omg this song is helps me I have been through a lot my friend just shout her self last night and this song help me a lot 😅😂
I'm sorry for your loss but this 😂 and 😅 are both laughing crying faces, not saying it to be mean or rude I'm just saying it because you may want to delete the comment and re do it or something.... Again sorry for your loss may your friend rest in peace
why is that funny
Her friend shout herself as in shouting nobody was shot
Haven't heard this in years...
This song helped me through a horrible divorce from a long term abusive marriage. I'd hit rewind 20+ times on the toughest days. God bless Rascal Flatts. I am a strong, confident, healed survivor. This song is still my anthem today. 😘
This one is really helping in my quest to stay sober :)
Thanks for posting. I can really relate to this song.
Me too.
“Stand"
You feel like a candle in a hurricane
Just like a picture with a broken frame
Alone and helpless
Like you've lost your fight
But you'll be alright, you'll be alright
[Chorus:]
'Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, 'til you break
'Cause it's all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad, you get strong
Wipe your hands, shake it off
Then you stand,
Then you stand
Life's like a novel
With the end ripped out
The edge of a canyon
With only one way down
Take what you're given before it's gone
And start holding on, keep holding on
[Chorus:]
'Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend 'til you break
'Cause it's all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad, you get strong
Wipe your hands, shake it off
Then you stand,
Yeah, then you stand
Every time you get up
And get back in the race
One more small piece of you
Starts to fall into place
Oh
[Chorus]
Yeah, then you stand,
Yeah, yeah, baby
Woo hoo, woo hoo, woo hoo
Then you stand, yeah, yeah
"life's like a novel, with the end ripped out" an amazing saying. this song gives me chills and it has such a beautiful meaning to it
Country Band from the UK? Now there's a contradiction if I ever saw one! I love it!
who’s here in 2020🥺
I am in school life but this song has helped me to win many competetions
The most important thing is to stay strong no matter what someone does or people do to you if you like what I wear if you show and you react to what goes on then they're do more and it will get worse. The most important thing is to stay strong and find someone who you can turn to that you can talk to and Talk to a person about things going on. And I promise you life has many blessings life is very precious. And life will get better. I promise you that it might not seem like everything is going well at this time, but I promise things will get better. It might take a little time, but don't let Noah push you around or make you feel down. We are all amazing. We are all God's children. And we all are equal. So if people do bad things to you just ignore it and try and just walk away or ignore maybe put headsets on if you have to sit near them or something as they say things to you so you can block them out. Stay strong. God bless. Be safe. Back button
Thank you Rascal Flatts for a burst of inspiration in this bleak place tonight
I am glad to present from my special treasurer man.
I love this song . Gracias
I actually have a question for the Rascal Flatts ( if they even see this , if not oh well I tried ) My name is Reba Simard. ( I am using my mothers account ) I am currently working with Reel Youth Ottawa and PACT Ottawa on making awareness videos for human trafficking for sexual exploitation, and my group and I would like to use some of the song Stand, I feel it would be the perfect song to put in between informational slides to make people feel empowered but because it will be going up online and on web sites I'd like to try and get permisson to use ( part of the song ) due to the meaning of the lyrics. If possible it would be really cool to find out by tomorrow, but again I dont know if this post is even going to be seen. So, ya. If so please message me back and let me know asap.
Also just love this song.
U should have your mom message their page on Facebook if she has one and ask it of them
