"Stand" by Lenny Kravitz

 

Don’t give up,

You’re gonna see tomorrow

That you’ll be on your feet again

Sometimes the world’s gonna knock you over

But you will see who are your friends

 

Come on, stand, up again

Come on, stand,

Stand, you’re gonna run again

 

Your faith and patience will be your soldiers

To guide you through your troubled times

Just put one foot in front of the other

The battles are inside your mind

You have the power to face your demons

No matter how they go at time

And rid yourself of your fear and weakness

So you can start to live your life

 

Come on, stand, up again

Come on, stand,

Stand, you’re gonna run again

 

Come on, stand, up again

Come on, stand,

Stand, you’re gonna run again

 

Pick up your will

And put on your face

If you need to, just take my hand

It’s time to demonstrate, don’t hesitate

Just get up and say "Yes, I can"

 

Stand, up again

Come on, stand,

Stand, you’re gonna run again

 

Stand, up again

Come on, stand,

Stand, you’re gonna run again

Stand, you’re gonna run again

Stand, you’re gonna run again

"Stand" by Lenny Kravitz is the perfect song that displays what Gertrude is telling Hamlet, "Good Hamlet, cast thy nighted color off" (Act 1 ii 70). Gertrude is telling Hamlet to cheer up. The lyrics, "If you need to, just take my hand, it’s time to demonstrate, don’t hesitate. just get up and say "Yes, I can". Stand, up again" is saying the same thing.
