[Verse1]
She was standing in the produce isle
And something caught her way off guard
The woman who was screaming
Had her 3 year old by the arm
Left a mark across his face
And in another time and place
She would have walked right by

[pre-chorus]
But this day she’d had enough
Stood her ground and she spoke up
Said lady pick on someone your own size

[Chorus]

Cus I’ve seen through his eyes and it’s not pretty
I’ve heard all the lines I can recite word for word
There’s no excuse for this and I for one
Just me, will not stand by

I can’t and won’t and will not stand by
Watch another suffer while I
Say it’s not my fault or business
If it’s not mine, who’s is it?

[Verse 2]
Onions rolled across the floor
She didn't even know what hit her
husband saying something like, you call this dinner?

left a mark across her face
and in another time and place
she'd do anything not to cry

[pre-chorus]
the phone is ringing, mamma callin
says' there's a line you should be drawin
cus if you don't I'm drawing mine

[chorus]
Cus I’ve seen through his eyes and it’s not pretty
I’ve heard all the lines I can recite word for word
There’s no excuse for this and I for one
Just me, will not stand by

I can’t and won’t and will not stand by
Watch another suffer while I
Say it’s not my fault or business
If it’s not mine, who’s is it?

[verse 3]
She's on the phone again past midnight
listening to a frightened voice
the one she used to hear inside
to afraid to make a choice

fells the mark across her face
and in another time and place
she would have told her, try not to cry

but she hangs on til 3 am
says honey, I know where you've been
now it's time for you to decide

[chorus}
Cus I've seen through those eyes and it's not pretty
you've heard all the lines, you can recite word for word
you know there's no excuse and now it's up to you
to not stand by

You can't and can't and will not stand by
watch your daughter suffer and I
know it's not your fault or mine
but she can't stand up
and you can't stand by
Baby don't stand by, don't stand by............
