What We Stand For Yves Stilmant © 2025
[Verse 1]
Early light through the kitchen blinds
She's makin' coffee, kids in line
One's got paint all over her face
The baby's dancin' in the same ol' space
No silver spoons, just a beat-up floor
But there's love behind that screen door
[Pre-Chorus]
We don't need a penthouse view
This little life's our point of view
[Chorus]
We stand for late nights, porch lights, slow rides
Raised right, strong minds, good vibes
Family talks and weekday grace
Front steps, warm hands, soft place
No big money, but hearts that shine
Yeah, we love loud and work just fine
That's what we breathe for
That's what we stand for
[Verse 2]
Old records playin' while the dishes stack
Football game on in the back
She's in sweats and still looks gold
He's home late but holds her close
These little scenes that make the frame
Don't need big words to stake our claim
[Pre-Chorus]
No white fence, no perfect plan
But we've got roots where we stand
[Chorus]
We stand for late nights, porch lights, slow rides
Raised right, strong minds, good vibes
Family talks and weekday grace
Front steps, warm hands, soft place
No big money, but hearts that shine
Yeah, we love loud and work just fine
That's what we breathe for
That's what we stand for
[Bridge - low groove, spoken/melodic delivery]
This love ain't flashy, but it's fire
Holdin' each other when we're tired
Dreams ain't always far or wide --
Sometimes they're right here by your side

[Final Chorus - smooth, lifted harmonies]
We stand for late nights, porch lights, slow rides
Raised right, strong minds, good vibes
Family talks and weekday grace
Front steps, warm hands, soft place
We don't need fame, just our own flame
Livin' proud, not chasin' names
That's what we breathe for
That's what we stand for

[Outro - mellow, vocal echo]
That's what we stand for...
Yeah, right here...
That's what we stand for
