A Stand

They're gone, aren't they?
They didn't WANT to stay
No matter what people said
They just had to get away

I blame the people
Those too ignorant to understand
I blame society
For not helping them to stand
I blame myself
For not taking their hand

Where was I, when they needed me?
Where was I, when they hurt?
I was right here
Thinking I had it worse

I'm so done with this
Society ALWAYS lies
About wealth, happiness, and bliss

I'm going to help them
I'm going to do it right
What I will live for
Is to save a life

One more laugh in the sea of crowds
One more frown I can turn upside down
One more pair of eyes, showing the world they're strong
One more voice, singing the song

A song of LOVE, sung through the halls of time
A song of JOY, sung in beautiful rhymes
A song of HOPE, sung for the very first time

I'm going to be the different guy
That's what I'm going to be
Will you stand, take a risk, say "Hi"
Or will you sit there
And just watch them die?
