We stand up tall.We won’t be afraid of our fates at allWe’ll be brave when judgment callsIf the ground opens up to swallowThe love that we’ve builtWill our world end in grief or elationtrepidation or guilt?It’s all for naughtThe world’s gone to potAnd no heaven’s waitin’ on meBut, when I’m down where it’s warmWould you still call me yours?I think I’d still like to be
