Lay It on the Line

Look all around you
And see what's at stake
A movement is coming
Which side will you take
Battle injustice
Or stay on the side
Will you stand up and fight
Or will you just run and hide?

Take a look at yourself
Are you doing anything that can help
Take a look in your heart
It's time that you start doing your part

Life's not worth living
If you don't take a stand
And champion the causes
Of your fellow 'man
Your apathy's weakness
Your silence a joke
How can you sit there
When the system is broke
Time to wake up your mind
And lay it on the line
Gotta lay it on the line

How can you keep saying
That nothing is wrong
When what's come to light
Has been like this all along
The shield has been broken
The trust is betrayed
Lives have been stolen
By the system we made

Take a look at yourself
Are you doing anything that can help
Take a look in your heart
It's time that you start doing your part

Life's not worth living
If you don't take a stand
And champion the causes
Of your fellow 'man
Your apathy's weakness
Your silence a joke
How can you sit there
When the system is broke
Time to wake up your mind
And lay it on the line
Gotta lay it on the line

(It's time to wake up and understand; It's time to support your fellow 'man)
Now is the time
(It's time to step up and do what's right; It's time to get up and join the fight)
For us to understand
(It's time to wake up and understand; It's time to support your fellow 'man)
We must unite
(It's time to step up and do what's right; It's time to get up and join the fight)
As one common 'man

Take a stand

Take a look at yourself
Are you doing anything that can help
Take a look in your heart
It's time that you start doing your part

Life's not worth living
If you don't take a stand
And champion the causes
Of your fellow 'man
Your apathy's weakness
Your silence a joke
How can you sit there
When the system is broke
Time to wake up your mind
And lay it on the line
Gotta lay it on the line
