Stand

Can you preserve some integrity,
Are you ready to try?
Can you maintain some stability
And make something of your life?
Can you protect yourself and your home,
Are you ready to fight?
Can you survive on your own
And stand the test of time?

Or will you go on sitting still
And keep taking the pills?
Won't you get up to finally rise
And for once feel a little pride?
Will you forever shut yourself down
Or will you shout it and cry it out loud?
Will you keep on serving quietly
Or were you created to obey?

Will you stand and defend your cause
And face the enemy alone?
Will you stand against adversities
To turn your dreams into realities?
Can you stand for your opinions
And make them hear your voice?
Can you talk about the truths you trust
And speak aloud your mind and thoughts?

Or will you keep on moaning silently,
Argue against the same thing endlessly?
Will you keep your loser's morality
And blame it all on your destiny?
There won't always be a guiding hand
It's time for you to make a stand
Here is a line to explain it all:
You better stand or you will fall

Can you stand?
