Stand

When the weight of the world is upon your back
And the darkness is close at hand
Search for the light surrounded by black
Arise to your feet and stand
When all seems lost with no way through
Each thought feels a final command
The only thing left for you to do
Is Get up to your feet and stand
Face all your fears stare into the dark
Your soul can never be dammed
Release the fire that once fuelled your heart
Flow through your veins and stand
