From the recording Underdog
"Stand For You" is a nod to Bon Iver in the sense of sounds providing a setting. You can feel the vastness of the the place where the singer stands, pondering the world. It features vocals by long time friend Shayne Hawken.
"Stand For You" is about standing up for the ones who are now gone. Standing now for what they represented, their legacy, their name. They will not be forgotten.

Lyrics
The whipping winds whispered I shouldn’t worry
Upon my face grew these tired line
A race to the seeds that we must bury
The snow remains beneath the thickest pines
Shayne
Here I’ll stand for you - Love Love
Breathing life renewed - come save me
Stand alone waiting for the one to come and save me from this emptiness
Here I’ll stand for you - Love Love
Build my home to plant my roots
the joy I found in simple times
Marking paths with the stamp of my boots
I here decree I’ve paid for my crimes
Here I’ll stand for you - Love Love
Breathing life renewed - Love love
Stand alone waiting for the one to come and save me from this emptiness
Can this happiness last forever - Come Save Me
Here I’ll stand for you
Here I’ll stand for you
You
