"We All Stand" is a song by the English band New Order. It appears as the second track on their 1983 album Power, Corruption & Lies.

Unlike other songs on the album, it is a slow track heavily influenced by dub music with low bass from Peter Hook, echoing drums from Stephen Morris accompanied by Gillian Gilbert's synthesizer chords. Bernard Sumner's lyrics are somewhat vague, concerning the song's protagonist meeting a soldier at the end of long journey "with only three miles to go". It also has a slightly apocalyptic theme, with lyrics such as "It's a red sky tonight" and "There's blood on the shore".
