Stand up for what you believe
Resist the powers that be
Preserve the land and save the seas
For the children of destiny
The children of you and me
Should goodness ever lose
And evil steal the day
Should happy sing the blues
And peace will fade away
What would you do
What would you say
How would you act on that new day?
Stand up for what you believe
Resist the powers that be
Preserve the ways of democracy
So the children can be free
The children of destiny
When money matters most
And war is good for gain
The capitol/capital is yours
The people feel the pain
They feel the pain
They walk the streets
While the bombs fall in the rain
The children hide
Somewhere inside
While the bombs fall in the rain
Stand up for what you believe
Resist the powers that be
Preserve the land and save the seas
For the children of destiny
The children of destiny
