Stand up

Location

Stand up for what's right

Reguardless if you're black or white

It just takes one

But soon one will turn to a ton

You see him hit her

Walk up, say sir

Don't do it again

He ignores you

What then?

A whole army comes in

The girl flees

Later she runs to you

Face so blue

She cries, it's been happening for years

Help me

I'm at the end of my rope 

I can't take one more unwanted grope

Look at these covered bruises

Take me away

I'll do whatever you say

Just please

Make me safe
