STAND TALL

Reggae
I don't mean to tell you what to do.
I don't like to be the preachy one.
But I've seen the rough that you've been through,
and I think it's time ... for you to ...

    STAND TALL.   (Far beyond survival)
    STAND TALL.   (Strong beyond belief)
    For you to STAND TALL.   (Time for your revival)
    You've got to STAND TALL-.

Every day, another beaten dream.
Every night your family come undone.
Every pain enough to make you scream,
but inside you know ... you've got to ...

    CHORUS

        It may take more courage
        than you think you've got in reserve.
        You were meant to flourish
        but that may mean you've got to fight
        for what you deserve.

There's a spirit deep inside of you.
There's a strength that you can draw upon
to achieve the things you've got to do.
Find that strength and rise:   It's time to ...

    CHORUS
