Spent your life
on the fence
And wonder where
the time went
From the time
you were born
You always did
what you're told
When you've gone
there's nothing
you leave behind
Always easy
to please
Never get off of
your knees
Give and
you will receive
Just like a kick
in the teeth
How long can you
just turn the
other cheek?
Tell me what
you've got to lose
There's just so
much you can do
But you gotta
stand up
One shot can make
a nation cry
One voice
can make them
wonder why
One spark can
make a fire burn
One lesson
everybody must learn
Stand up
You gotta search
for the truth
It's just so
easy to lose
When there's
so many lies
That find a way
to get through
I know that the future
is in your hands
Don't hide your head
in your hands
There's just so much
you can stand
But you gotta
stand up
One shot can make
a nation cry
One voice
can make them
wonder why
One spark can
make a fire burn
One lesson
everybody must learn
Stand up
Who's gonna answer
your prayers?
When you are
no longer there
If you're looking
for signs
You must be
crazy or blind
I know the future
is in your hands
Tell me what
you got to lose
There's just so much
you can do
But you gotta
stand up
One shot can make
a nation cry
One voice
can make them
wonder why
One spark can
make a fire burn
One lesson
everybody must learn
Stand up
One shot can make
a nation cry
One voice
can make them
wonder why
One spark can
make a fire burn
One lesson
everybody must learn
Stand up
You've gotta
stand up
Stand up
Stand up
