If we don't stand now, we sacrifice a child's future. There's a kind of war not fought with weapons but with the heart. |
Stand!
Authorize
no mountain to trap you downbound
Neither
life’s pomp nor circumstance toss you around.
Gatto keep
up the struggle, Brown.
Don’t
let a nobody feeling lock you
downtown-
You know
how it is,
You know
where it pinches-
It’s
time you set ‘em straight, friend
That you
gonna
Stand!
They ain’t
seen nothing, yet,
Just bet.
One last
hurdle and it’ll declare who the greatest.
Honor before
death.
Bow down
to no threat
As you
reach to bridge the chasm forged by fear
And while
you’re at it giving ‘em a good scare-
Show ‘em
who the man-
Stand!
You know
better than procrastinating
While time
is tick-tocking
And the
arsenal of opportunity is smokin’ n tokin’.
Heard
you say you was a one man army.
I’d
love to have you convince me;
Step to
it.
It’s
your call. Run with it.
If you
have been kicked around a few
Make that
ambition walk n talk, why don’t you?
Make demands
and
Stand!
Wouldn’t
hurt if you backed that up
With a
fight and never give up
On you.
What’s
that you got in your hand?
You can
use that, too.
This ain’t
no time for quitting
Get your
butt up and take it.
If you
got the world on your shoulder,
Boy,
quit playing and keep it together.
Leave indecision
bleeding in the gutter.
You’re wasted
flowing downstream with the crowd.
Yea,
that’s what I’m talking about;
Get with
the program,
Stand!
Unlock the
portals of fecundity;
Step into
the navel of genius;
Act with
a degree of desperate creativity;
Take the
helm and set your life on course.
Go to
war;
Hell raising
isn’t outlawed.
Skyrocket
your dreams to the peak;
Initiate
an unbroken winning streak.
Take the
risk of being tagged a geek
For peculiarity;
your own special trick.
In every
act you do
Here’s
a thought and it’s a tool:
No man can ride your back when you’re
standing
upright.
Now that
you’ve come into the light,
Rise from
the dark and desolate valley
To a
land of promising delight.
Be a
man;
Stand!
Walk the
walk,
Talk the
talk,
Aim
your will like a dart
And hit
it off the chart.
Confess
it. Profess it. Invest it.
A quitter
never wins.
Nothing
can shake that premise.
Victory
was the plan.
So having
done all you can . . .
Stand!
