Stand
When dark clouds profuse rain of tears on your parade
When glorious dreams and plans have been delayed........
STAND
When there are no claps or applause
When the breath of exhaustion breathes on your neck, so you pause........
DO STAND
When the evil eye stares you down
When darkness tries to turn that smile into a frown........
PLEASE STAND
When thieves and knaves come for seizure
When inciters and discombobulators come to disrupt your leisure........
BY ALL MEANS, STAND
And remain standing in spite of
Because all help comes from the Most High above
