If you could see that all you stand for, care for was one day gone.
If they told you that all you strive for came to nought.
Would you still care? Would you still fight?
And seek out justice day and night?
If at your calling, no one came.
No one to carry on that flame.
If no one saw all that you strived for
Crashed in the darkness of tyranny
Would you still?
Would you? Yes, you! Think of those that are trampled down.
And to your own, if not them, too
They’re worth it by the breath they breathe
For justice for one is for all.
For nothing is lost at end of day
For standing tall against that wave
For standing up increases worth
For all you fought for and held dear.
