Stand

I opened up the dusty books
Prepared to make a stand
Taking in all the messages
Prepared to make a stand

I raised my hands and took the time
Prepared to make a stand
Signed off from sleep and crumbling eyes
Prepared to make a stand

All or nothing, anything at all
Prepared to make a stand
Trust it, feel it for the ever more
Prepared to make a stand

Dont worry about what I did
Too scared to make a stand
Lift it open - born and bright
Prepared to make a stand
