Standing up

Tears
Sadness
Alone in the dark
people thinking your
and evil shark

Hardness
coldness
feeling pain

for people knowing
your not the same

your ideals are
much more steep
your opinions running deep

standing with pride
and following through
for these are the things
i must really do

taking the bullet
with an open chest
knowing that your
not wearing your protective vest

steppin up to the plate
striding for home
knowing that your
all on your own

Picking people up
when they've fallen down
Knowing that your not wearing the crown

Believing in those
who others doubt
knowing that everyone
can turn about

facing the music
even when your wrong
these are the things
am mother Carry's on

Saying no
even when it hurts
knowing that it
might work

taking the dive
for them wont do

these things they do know
because of you
