Stand Tall

about

a call to sanity

lyrics

Wake up
Shake yourself down
Don’t leave til tomorrow
Whatever comes around

Stand tall
Don’t be caught lying down
Step on into the melee
Or you’re gonna lose your ground

Your grandfathers died
In their years of prime
Fell in fields of roses
Way ahead of their time
Your grandmothers wept
Broken and bent
Carried armies of orphans
Till they too were sent
To fight for the freedoms
You ‘bout to give away
If you don’t suck your head in
And have your say

Wake up
Give yourself a chance
Don’t sweat the small stuff
Don’t you know your life is a true romance

Peace out
Always be closing
Liars be lying
Ain’t no supposing
Love your neighbour
As you love yourself
Don’t give in to hatred
Leave it on a shelf
Of the greedy take heed
They will strike in your sleep
They’ll take more than they need
What they don’t need they keep
