Stand

When dark clouds bring an outpouring of tears on your parade When glorious dreams and plans have been delayed... STAND When the evil eye stares you down When deep-seated hatred tries to turn that smile into a frown... DO STAND When thieves and knaves come for a seizure When inciters come to disrupt your leisure... PLEASE STAND When there are no claps or applause When the breath of exhaustion breathes on your neck, urging you to pause... BY ALL MEANS, STAND And remain standing in spite of__ Because all help comes from the most high above
