Stand Up

Intensity  misfortune  a world of pain

Many souls  who stand to gain

Who will feed the poor

When the world come knocking at your door

Liberty freedom stand up for their rights

Step forward to fight their fights

Stand up for their plight

Decend out of the darkness of night

If person truly did stand

For the fellowship of every man

The world would change today

Bringing humanity closer in every way
