STAND! Come on Ya’ll

STAND! In the end, you'll still be you-
One that's done all the things you set out to do. STAND! There's a cross for you to bear- Things to go through, if you're goin' anywhere. STAND! For the things you know are right- It's the truth, that the truth makes them so uptight.
STAND!  All the things you want are real- You have you to complete, and there is no deal.
STAND! You've been sitting much too long- There's a permanent crease, in your right and wrong.
STAND! There's a midget standing tall- And a giant beside him about to fall.
STAND! They will try to make you crawl- And they know what you're sayin' makes sense at all.
STAND!  Don't you know that you are free? Well, at least in your mind- if you want to be.
Everybody, STAND!.. STAND! Come on ya'll.
