Sit Down, They Say
sit down
they tell me
sit down
calm that voice
calm that spirit voice
thats wants to revolutionize
and change hateworld
calm that love
calm that spirit, they say
fearing day of love
fearing reckoning of truth
sit down
sit down they say
sit down they say
sit your thoughts down
sit your love down
sit your truth down
they say
they want to sit the truth down
they want to shut the truth up
I will not sit down
I will stand
I will stand erect and proud
like a lovesoldier that I am
searching for truth eternal
too moral
to hold
too moral to keep down
too moral to keep silent
do not tell me to stand
I will stand guard like a good soldier
I will stand.
