This song was, I suppose, inspired by my father who was always telling me to stand up for myself.

Some would say the instruments used are a little soft for such a song (no trumpets or electric guitars) but I kind of like the contrast.

It appears I have mislaid the original band line up.

V1
You made your choice. Took the back row.
Now you're drowning in that undertow.
Time to seize the day in every single way
Ch.
And stand up. Stand up.
This ain't no time to lay down.
V2
You watch it all... from your safe place
Run away .... hide your face
No one ever sees the person you could be
Ch.
So stand up. Stand up.
This ain't no time to lay down.
Inst.
Br.
Makes no difference who they are.
What they say.
Words can never kill you.
Ch.
So stand up. Stand up.
This ain't no time to lay down.

This is war. This is war.
So stand up. Stand up. Stand up.
