We Stand
MikeFAWM22-13
We stand, for those, who cannot stand
Raise our voices; all across the land
Taking to the streets; We won’t accept defeat
We stand, for those who cannot stand
We gather together, for those broken apart
Let the pain out; it comes from the heart
We show our resolve, for goodness to evolve
We gather together, for those broken apart
B-part:
We must share our strength
Whether given, borrowed, or lent
Do what we can so that others can survive
We cry, for those who are all cried out
Though their spirit may have all but died out
If we can stay strong; we can carry them along
We cry, for those who are all cried out
<instrumental A-part, B-part>
We shout, for those whose voices are hoarse
We can step in; help them stay the course
We lift their spirits; though they’re not be ready to hear it
We shout, for those whose voices are hoarse
B-part:
We must give our all
It’s time to heed the call
Do what we can so others can maybe thrive
We sing, for those who sing off-key
What we do for others, we do for “we”
When we raise our voice; it shows we’ve made a choice
We sing, for those who sing off-key

As good a rationale for demonstrating, even when it doesn't feel like the demonstration is achieving anything.
