STAND UP (MAKE A CHANGE)

VERSE 1:
We are red, white and blue
We have an obligation to all of you
To all the people, to the fans and masses
Near and far
To the legends who wore the stripes
We’re gonna show you who we really are
Stand up
Stand up
To protect
That which you believe
Get tough
Rise above
Don’t rely
On possibilities
When you realize
We are warriors
We are one
You can make a change
VERSE 2:
Like Yogi Berra, Derek Jeter and The Babe
A culmination
The battle’s still the same
Opponent’s quiver
As we take ‘em down
To show who’s boss
(A force)
Not to be reckoned with
We’re gonna show you how they hit the ground
Stand up
Stand up
To protect
That which you believe
It’s our right
Fight or flight
Don’t conform
To society
When you realize
We are warriors
We are one
You can make a change
Society gets
what society wants
We claim to seek the truth
But take no time for redemption
In the corners
Of the world we created
There is suffering, destruction,
But turn a blind eye
(repeat)
Stand up
Stand up
To protect
That which you believe
Get tough
Rise above
Don’t rely
On possibilities
When you realize
We are warriors
We are one
We’re all connected
We are strong
We have faith
We are calm
We are collected
We seek truth
We are dignified
We are gratified
Make a change
