An inspirational song more people should take to heart.....

The world can be a crazy place sometimes but in the end it's us as individuals that help shape it into what it is becoming.  If more people took on the motto of fighting for what you believe in and don't let the pressures of society sway your beliefs, things would actually begin to change.  As a society though we have a long ways to go before things truly change.  It's a constant war with many battles.  More and more of these battles are being won so don't be afraid to stand up and help others! In honor of that little rant below are the lyrics to Sugarland's "Stand Up".  This song is for all of those who do believe enough in themselves to Stand Up and use their voice. It is also for those who want to find that inner strength to stand up but need a little push.

"Stand Up"

All the lonely people cryin'
It could change if we just get started
Life the darkness, light a fire
For the silent and the broken hearted

Won't you stand up
Stand Up
Stand Up
Won't you stand up you girls and boys?

Won't you stand up
Stand Up
Stand Up
Won't you stand up and use your voice?

There's a comfort
There's healing
High above the pain and sorrow
Change is coming
Can you feel it?
Calling us into a new tomorrow

Won't you stand up
Stand Up
Stand Up
Won't you stand up you girls and boys?

Won't you stand up
Stand Up
Stand Up
Won't you stand up and use your voice?

When the walls fall all around you
When your hope has turned to dust
Let the sound of love surround you
Beat like a heart in each of us

Won't you stand up
Stand Up
Stand Up
Won't you stand up you girls and boys?

Won't you stand up
Stand Up
Stand Up
Won't you stand up and use your voice?

Won't you stand up
Stand Up
Stand Up
Won't you stand up you girls and boys?

Won't you stand up
Stand Up
Stand Up
Won't you stand up

Won't you stand up
Stand Up
Stand Up
Won't you stand up and use your voice?
