It's time to stand

It's time to stand


For every time you said I love you
But in the same second didn't do
For every time I stood by you
And you made me look like a fool

For every time I asked for your hand
But you only reminded me that you were a real man
The swift wind flowing from that loving hand
For every time I fell face first
with blood dripping thirst in the sand

For every time you didn't provide
I was left to give the excuses why
I begged and prayed your love would just die
Just fade away in that bloody sand box
Wishing for the could and should nots

It's time for me to stand
No more taking useless pain from a man
Not a man that doesnt love or even can
Not a man that shows emtion with his hand
No more excuses on why you dont
No more nights of hearing what you wont

It's time to stand
fight back for what my mother taught me
What my grandparents faught for me
What all those that died thought enough of me
Stand up for my dignity
and face reality

A man's love doesnt hurt as such
Disgusted and scared of his touch
A man's love doesn't scar and damage the flesh
or even put his loved one at rest
Not a real man

A mans love is dignified and respected
lustful and excepted
deserved and wanted to the core
desired and so much more
I stand tall for those real men
I stand strong for those men that love their women

It's time to stand for them
recongize them for who they are
dont be fooled by those wearing the mask
take your glasses off and show yourself
stand for those men who stand for us
fight with those men who fight for whats just
right in every sense
It's time to stand for the real men
