Stand Tall

With the rising of the tide And an overwhelming sense of pride It is hard for one to find An easy way to ease a troubled mind Everyday that passes I'm a little more afraid That somehow you've mistaken your ignorance for strength I don't know how longer all this but I will not break Cos I will remember the way Said I will lift my eyes in weariness and trying times And when the nations rise and fall I will stand tall Woah... Do you know how it feels to fight a battle knowing you'll lose Or make a vote for freedom when you know who'll they'll chose The election no-one wanted these fools but everyday in the news More propaganda and gloom, no thunderclouds on the moon That's where I travel when I run away Flip mode brown paper negative I bun away Sometimes I meditate to block the low vibrations That be slowly penetrating all my summers days Maybe this is just a phase Maybe we're just sleeping and well just soon awake Maybe the realness that we cherish has become the fate Maybe all the angels have become the snakes Maybe the jewellery just disguise the chains Don't you feel this life insane But we still stand up for our rights the same While my youngers on the street struggle to write their name But when all nations finally rise and fall We will stand up tall Getting hard for me to breathe In the the state of this reality I know you define me by the criminal that's in your eyes I'll rise above the things you think of me Everyday that passes I'm a little more afraid That somehow you've mistaken your ignorance for strength I don't know how longer all this but I will not break Cos I will remember the way Said I will lift my eyes in weariness and trying times And when the nations rise and fall I will stand tall
