Know that I will stand by your side,
through all the pain and suffering.
Know that I will stand by your side,
through all those things you’re taught to hide.
You don’t have to stand up and face it alone,
so stand up we’ll face it.
You don’t have to stand up and face it alone,
so stand up we’ll face it.
It’s pitiful people won’t show their best when it’s critical,
how often people fail when it’s pivotal,
sometimes I don’t want to even live at all.
I need to take a breath.
Take a second, do a mental check in,
accountable for everything I let in.
Sometimes it can get upsetting, but, I’m not letting up.
I will keep my third eye on the prize,
I will laugh a little more than I cry.
Path is steep, so one step at a time.
Community is in need so I will
Stand by your side,
through all the pain and suffering.
Know that I will stand by your side,
through all those things you’re taught to hide.
Know that I will stand by your side,
through all the pain and suffering.
Know that I will stand by your side,
through all the things you’re taught to hide.
You don’t have to stand up and face it alone,
so stand up we’ll face it.
You don’t have to stand up and face it alone,
so stand up we’ll face it.
Evil corporations holding back all the patents,
people are scraping as their profit keep stacking.
There’s no more patience, other countries are lacking.
System will break and it’s their codes that we’re cracking.
So I give my all with every single thing I am.
Rise and fall, I’m the lion and the lamb.
Seen enough to know that I haven’t seen it all.
So I tune into all the love that I have,
send it down as I walk upon the land.
Ego telling me I’m just a grain of sand,
but, the world feels like it’s in the palm of my hands.
This life is not a curse, ask for help when it really hurts.
Ignorance makes it worse, take my hand and know
I will stand by your side,
through all the pain and suffering.
Know that I will stand by your side,
through all those things you’re taught to hide.
Know that I will stand by your side,
through all the pain and suffering.
Know that I will stand by your side,
through all those things you’re taught to hide.
You don’t have to stand up and face it alone,
so stand up we’ll face it.
You don’t have to stand up and face it alone,
so stand up we’ll face it.
Whenever you call me I’ll be there.
Whenever you need me I’ll be there.
Whenever you call me I’ll be there.
Whenever you need me I’ll be there.
Whenever you call me I’ll be there.
Whenever you need me I’ll be there.
Whenever you call me I’ll be there.
Whenever you need me I’ll be there.
