Patti Jo Roth-Edwards - I Choose To Stand Lyrics
It's better to stand up and shout than lie down and whimperWith the heal of the 1% trying to hold you downI can't just stand here and do nothing, so I'll join the 99% downtown.Stand with the many on the courthouse stepsWishing the law wasn't broken - Hoping we can fix it.But I don't know - I just hope soI know that I must stand so brothers here I amIt's better to stand up and shout than lie down and whimperWith the heal of the 1% trying to hold you downI can't just stand here and do nothing, so I'll join the 99% downtown.I'm really not a fighter - I'm a lover of this countryNot of the government, but a lover of the landThere's so much that's broken - I'm not sure how to fix itBut I do have faith and that is why I standIt's better to stand up and shout than lie down and whimperWith the heal of the 1% trying to hold you downI can't just stand here and do nothing, so I'll join the 99% downtown.I stand for freedom - I stand for justiceI stand for honesty, integrity and all that we hold dearI pray for the future - for our childrenIt's for the future that I standIt's better to stand up and shout than lie down and whimperWith the heal of the 1% trying to hold you downI can't just stand here and do nothing, so I'll join the 99% downtown.I'm choosing to stand up and shoutNot lie down and whimperThis is my choice. I choose to stand.
