Stand Up
What a shame on the airlines what a show
Over the Country now what we have is a shadow
When over so many years our soldiers bestowed
Their families, hearts their lives their brotherhood
To keep our rights freedoms free and fine at such a price
Remember the prize they have given us from their sacrifice
Though we have made horrible mistakes I know that's true
And with the following years there are things we must undo
Justice calls, opportunity and vision even though the law is slow
While so many of us sing the songs of our country ’s honor
Celebrating with flags and picnics while there was much we did not know
Still celebrate and sing through the lands with humanhood
And comprehend the work that must be done and we must do
Standing up for the future by standing up for the good.
