Time to make a stand
Falling, falling but I never land
I take them on with my hands
As I have done from my birth
Fighting for air, water and earth
The light doesn't penetrate these depths
Our eyes adjust to the dark
Always alert
Always sharp
Looking for the place to leave our everlasting mark
It's time to make a stand
Every woman, child, and man
Take them on, use your hands
Until their screams you can no longer stand
Escape back into your head
To let the scars heal
So that you can once again
See and feel
Your life is now more real
How can you deal
As the sun sinks into the dust
You realize your fears are gone
The night brings cover from the light
Now you can rise up with all your might
It's time to make a stand
Every woman, child, and man
Take them on, use your hands
Until their screams you can no longer stand
In the center of the city
You hear the music begin to arise
Your people have awoken
The culture has yet to die
But too soon it's all over
Your people bleed into the streets
And you know you will have to fight alone
For yet another week
It's time to make a stand
Every woman, child, and man
Take them on, use your hands
Come on
It's time to make a stand
Every woman, child, and man
Take them on, use your hands
Until their screams you can no longer stand
You are man
