And You Stood Up

When all is Gray and Depressing,

When the world around you is repressing,

Forget your fears and raise your head,

And if you think you are right, STAND UP.

Stand Up for what you believe is right,

Stand Up because you have to fight,

Stand Up and keep your goal in sight

Stand Up because you got to show your Might.

No bars will move without trying,

So make an effort to rise and shine,

And if you can’t, then don’t cry for a position in this

DIVINE.
It will be the power of our voice beyond pink Or blue Which will take us to the top and the world behind.
