From the recording Waking Up
Lyrics
Stand and Cheer
by Michael Lyon
Stand and cheer, the baby’s born, oh what lies ahead
Soon a chance to coax a smile. First, let’s get her fed
Open up your arms, oh yeah
This is how you stand and cheer
Stand and cheer a baby boy, crawling here and there
‘fore you know, he’s all grown up and moves like Fred Astaire
Open every door you can
Then he’ll walk on air. This is where we stand and cheer
Warm wind blowing; guide them growing
Stand and cheer your children on, toes and fingers crossed
Theirs to build a better world. Don’t let them get lost
Open up your heart, oh yeah
Off to Disneyland, cue the marching band
This is where we stand and cheer
