Stand up.
For the list of false gods
and kings
is the length of your arm.
So many frauds
are going to want you
to bow to them,
just worry about
being true to yourself.
Stand up.
Because the long comfort
of the grave
is coming soon.
No one is going to get through
this part of life alive.
Never ask
for a moment’s respite.
You’re gonna have to fight.
That’s just the way it is.
Stand up.
Because there’ll be some
who can’t stand up on their own.
Some stood for us all
far from home,
and came back
wearing a broken shell,
and it’s hell inside as well.
The world will show you
there’s no shortage
of people who can’t
stand up for themselves.
Stand up.
You’ll never make
the right move
sitting around.
So many would give their lives
to be where you are right now.
There is no time
to slow down.
It’s up to you how
you’re gonna stand proud.
Live each day
as if it were your last.
Do it for yourself,
do it for them,
but do it with love.
Stand up.
