Stand Down

Stand down, yeah
Stand down, ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Got to let it, ooh yeah
Gotta do it, yeah, yeah, oh yeahFriends and lovers beware
'Cause there's something in the air
I feel it coming, I feel it coming
And I'm talking to you all
'Cause when that hammer starts to fall
There'll be no running, there'll be no runningBut my people and your people
Must do the things they do, yeah
And my people are such sweet people
Don't worry, baby, won't get those hooks on youStand down, don't let them know your secret
(Stand)
Stand down, if you wanna live your life
(Stand)

(Stand)
Stand down, ooh yeah, stand down, yeahIt is written in the sky
There's no place for you and I
To keep on strumming, no strumming
In the message that we send
They're gonna tell us in the end
That we had it coming, we had it comingBut my people and your people
Must do the things they do, yeah

The most important is tenderness
Too cold when that wind blows today
And bitterness is the easy wayStand down low
