Stand

 I see you rushing in

As I sit in the courtyard

Knocking walls down

Fighting to get to me

I do not stand

 

You fight my men

The ones who surround me

You fight them til death

You see me collapsed

Unable to to stand

 

You shout to me

Hear my words

Listen to me

Believe me

Keep fighting, please

 

Can’t you hear me

As you shout

My hands on my ears

No more I shout

I can’t

You are just as I say

Lift your head up and believe me
