I'm standing at the edge of space and time
Deciding if my being alive is a crime,
And if I jump and sail out into the abyss,
How much will I really miss?

I'm inching closer, closer to my fate,
Lacking a back up plan or escape,
I'm just about to finally go and move ahead
When a voice calls out to me,
Here's what it said:

STAND
Every woman and man,
This is a call for all to rise up and stand,
STAND
Every woman and man,
Raise up your voice and say that I can
STAND
Every woman and man,
This is a call for all to rise up and stand
All rise up and say...
I CAN

Get back up on your feet,
You're much too strong to quit on me,
Now dry your eyes and brace your back,
Prepare for warfare,
 [bad word] the attack

You're nearly there so don't you stop
Making your very own way to the top,
And when you see your victory
Together we will be
We're now free

STAND
Every woman and man,
This is a call for all to rise up and stand
STAND
Every woman and man,
Raise up your voice and say that I can
STAND
Every woman and man,
This is a call for all to rise up and stand
All rise up and say...
I CAN
