Stand Your Ground

Do you know what's wrong from right Will you ever feel contrite Can you leave the dark for light Or must you stand your ground Do you admit when you are wrong Will you be kind and still be strong Can you tell it's been too long Or must you stand your ground If you need to know your worth If you want to move the earth If you wish for love's rebirth Then you must stand your ground Stand where love's your guiding light Stand apart from those who'd fight Stand with those who just do right But you must stand your ground

Very complex thought, this write. Staying true to ones convictions has its challenges.
