Stand up!

Don’t back away

Hold firm, don’t let ‘em win

They push, they shove, they try to break


Stand tall!

*


Hold on!

Don’t lose your spark

They talk loud, make you doubt

But fire doesn’t fade if fed with hope


Keep on!

*


Not me!

Not tied, not tamed

Ain’t no leash on my soul

Freedom ain't just a dream I chase


It’s mine!

* * *
