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
