As the man crosses the river
He knows what's on the other side
He knows it isn't pretty
But for his Cause risks his life

As the man reaches the shore
Got bumps and bruises along the way
He is willing for so much more
For has crossed he's here to stay

Stand up
Stand up for what you believe in
Stand up
Stand up for people like him
Stand up
Stand up for you and me
Stand up
Stand up
Stand up for what you believe in

As I stumble into the water
Collect some cuts along the way
As look over my shoulder
Nothings there, its just decay

The water pulls and flows around me
I wish the cold would go away
Let me tell you it's not pretty
But I'm here, I'm here to stay
