Stand Up And Take A Stand
All of you with heads unbowed stand up and take a stand.
All of you who follow the crowd
march to their rhythm band.
All of you with firm beliefs stand up and take a stand.
All of you who follow the chiefs
submit to their command.
All of you with noble deeds stand up and take a stand.
All of you who follow the breeds
bond to their passT brand.
All of you with spinal cords stand up and take a stand.
All of you who follow the lords
listen to their demand.
All of you with keen insights stand up and take a stand.
All of you who follow the frights
hide your heads in the sand.
