Stand and Go For Action

When all doors are closed 
And all faces are frowned,
You must know that it is 
High time to stand and go
If you dare not stand up, 
You can never be crowned

Every step that you take is 
Your examination of senses
You must balance your talent 
And cross all the hurdles
You must enter the spirits 
Without caring the fences

So many tongues will oppose 
Your right and just actions
So many hands draw you back 
With their blemish stings  
But you must swallow poison 
For the righteous reasons
