Stand Up With Me

“When you’re living on your knees you rise up.”

Some people are on their knees because

They’re bowing down to him.

Some people are on their knees because

They’re hopeless.

Here, take my hand.

Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you.

Stand up with me.

We cannot lose hope.

If we lose hope, so will they.

He’s just a man, you know.

Not immortal.

Certainly not a prophet.

And we are more. 
See, look at them!

They’ve stood up too.

Turn on the TV at 11:30 at night?

Nothing but late night hosts.

Albeit white men, but

They’re standing up too.

Now, hold my hand.

Don’t let me go.

Stand with me

And help me

Fight

For a 

Better

Tomorrow.
