Текст песни I Choose to Stand (Patti Jo Roth-Edwards) с переводом

It’s better to stand up and shout than lie down and whimper

With the heal of the 1% trying to hold you down

I can’t just stand here and do nothing, so I’ll join the 99% downtown.

Stand with the many on the courthouse steps

Wishing the law wasn’t broken — Hoping we can fix it.

But I don’t know — I just hope so I know that I must stand so brothers here I am It’s better to stand up and shout than lie down and whimper

With the heal of the 1% trying to hold you down

I can’t just stand here and do nothing, so I’ll join the 99% downtown.

I’m really not a fighter — I’m a lover of this country

Not of the government, but a lover of the land

There’s so much that’s broken — I’m not sure how to fix it But I do have faith and that is why I stand

It’s better to stand up and shout than lie down and whimper

With the heal of the 1% trying to hold you down

I can’t just stand here and do nothing, so I’ll join the 99% downtown.

I stand for freedom — I stand for justice

I stand for honesty, integrity and all that we hold dear

I pray for the future — for our children

It’s for the future that I stand

It’s better to stand up and shout than lie down and whimper

With the heal of the 1% trying to hold you down

I can’t just stand here and do nothing, so I’ll join the 99% downtown.

I’m choosing to stand up and shout

Not lie down and whimper

This is my choice. I choose to stand.
