It is said if you can’t beat them join them
But that’s a defeatist verbal emblem
Be a solutionist and don’t surrender to the problem
Even if you can’t beat them, stand firm

A wise one never surrenders to the foolishness of the many,
Cuz the foolish pound never outlives the wise penny
This world lacks leaders, but followers are plenty
So don’t let your life be coloured by minds that are empty

STAND! is the simple message of this piece
Please, don’t let popular opinion drive you to your knees
Be at peace with your moral convictions and persist
Be a force for what’s right, don’t just exist

Let me end with this school rhyme I believe you know
That taught us to stand and not just go with the flow
Wherever you may be and wherever you go
Do not say yes when you mean to say NO
