Lyrics Avery Watts

Avery Watts

Stand

I'm standing at the edge of space and time

Deciding if my being alive is a crime

And if I jump and sail out into the abyss

How much will I really miss?

I'm inching closer, closer to my fate

Lacking a back up plan or escape

I'm just about to finally go and move ahead

When a voice calls out to me

Here's what it said:

STAND

Every woman and man

This is a call for all to rise up and stand

STAND

Every woman and man

Raise up your voice and say that I can

STAND

Every woman and man

This is a call for all to rise up and

All rise up and say…

I CAN

Get back up on your feet

You’re much to strong to quit on me

Now dry your eyes and brace your back

Prepare for warfare

Here comes the attack

You’re nearly there so don’t you stop

Making your very own way to the top

And when you see your victory

Together we will be

We’re now free

Stand

Everybody now:

I CAN
