Stand up

Michael William Reid

Just stand up raise your head

And stand up on your feet

Just stand up and lift your voice 

You will not know defeat 

Just stand up steady your hands

They have no need to shake

Just stand up and hold your truth

There is nothing they can take

Just stand and walk you'll make it through 

And it will be ok 

One foot in front of the other 

And you'll make it through the day 

Until the day you walk into the land

Of blue and sunny skies 

Just live and love and remember this

Life is made of tries

    Life can be very difficult and nobody is perfect .. people make mistakes and struggle . I guess all we can do is try our best , but sometimes our best never feels enough does it
