Stand Up

Stand Up

A Poem by JamesTleBourn
"

You’ve been broken for so long / They’ve been hurting you all along / Your broken body lays in a heap / Wake up from your nervous sleep

"

You’ve been broken for so long

They’ve been hurting you all along

Your broken body lays in a heap

Wake up from your nervous sleep


And stand up

Stand for all who’ve ever been loved by

Stand up and look all of evil in eye

And stand up


They laugh in your bloodied face

They spit before you in disgrace

You’re afraid to turn up your head

Look at them, even if you’re almost dead


And stand up

Stand up for the stars still turn

Stand up for pupils can learn 

And stand up


Oh, the terrors that they have done

But you stand up

Because we’ll all die just for the one

Who stands up 


Stand and breathe

Breathe and open your eyes

Open your eyes and step forward

Step forward and join the fight

Join the fight and stand
