Stand and Fight

What are we supposed to do? 
Should we stand and fight? 
Turn the page and bend the leaf 
Should we burn our memories? 
And fall into a pool of anger 
Should we shatter the circle of trust? 
And lose our last thought of hope 
Should we stand and fight? 
Turn the page and bend the leaf 
The world is on fire 
All of our hopes and dreams are forgotten 
We were so perfect 
Are we ready to self-destruct? 
Should we stand and fight? 
Turn the page and bend the leaf 
Can you force a smile? 
Would you stand for what you believe? 
How can you sit back and watch? 
Our own world is falling apart 
Should we stand and fight? 
Turn the page and bend the leaf 
Is it worth dying for? 
Would you sacrifice everything? 
To have a second chance 
What are we supposed to do? 
Should we stand and fight? 
Turn the page and bend the leaf 
We could run from the problem 
We could let it grow forever 
Or we could stand and fight 
Use our strength to rise against 
Should we stand and fight? 
Turn the page and bend the leaf
