Stand Tall

Stand Tall

All the eyes that came before you

Eventually they did see

The pain, the suffering, the aggravation

While the water it flows free

Standing tall amidst destruction

The birds continuing to sing

All eyes open to salvation

All eyes looking for the king

Never looking back but looking forward

Each step carries its own weight

Tearing down fences in between us

We see the line is never straight

Arm and arm we hold the world in

The marches they begin to swell

Cause there’s no sun when it is storming

There’s no sun when you’re in hell

Stand tall and breathe

Stand tall and breathe

I can’t breathe he’s on his knee

I can’t breathe he’s on his knee
