Standing

I remember watching the movie, The Legend of Chun-Li, where the line came up that "sometimes you needed to stand, even when doing so was difficult." So very true, sometimes we simply need to stand and be counted. Even if the count is just one.

"Standing" comes from a far more local band, The Awakening. No matter how the world may want to beat you down or isolate you because you are just you. Be seen and be counted, for who or what you are.

Sitting by myself again
Battered and alone
Wondering to myself again
Whether I have grown

Stand and be counted
Stand to be seen
Stand and be counted

I look into your eyes again
And memories unfold
I wonder about the time we spend
The place we call a home

Stand and be counted
Stand to be seen
Stand and be counted

You force my mind to run away
to your dreams of black and gold
A pain so sharp it bleeds the night
I give you my hand to hold

Stand and be counted
Stand to be seen
Stand and be counted

It's not long to go
To find your way Home


Stand and be seen!
