Stand Up
Times like these are times to stand up
No matter who opposes you, do not give up
A boy I once knew, his name was Sam
Most of the time he didn’t really give a damn
But when it came to what he believed,
He never was relieved
He knew this world was corrupt
Little did he know, his life would be abrupt
He was threatened and beat,
But he would still compete
He thought what no one else did
He was only a kid
On a stormy night, the sky was bright
With the stars and the moon
The last thing he heard was a boom
Next time you’re in denial
Face all the trials
Just like Sam did
His enemies hid
Because he died for what he believed in
