Stand on Your Own Two Feet
(Verse 1)
When the ruler whispers soft and low,
"Trust in me, I’ll make you grow."
Beware the chains wrapped in gold,
For freedom traded is freedom sold.
They strip your strength, make you small,
Convince you they’re the answer to all.
No rival loyalties, no voices strong,
They weave a world where you don’t belong.
(Chorus)
Stand on your own two feet,
Refuse the lie, don’t accept defeat.
When they try to bind your will,
Rise as one, defiant still.
(Verse 2)
They’ll promise care, they’ll promise peace,
A world of comfort that seems to increase.
But every gift comes with a price,
A slice of freedom, a subtle device.
They’ll break the bonds of family and friends,
So your only trust on the ruler depends.
No self-reliance, no inner fire,
Just the master and their empire.
(Chorus)
Stand on your own two feet,
Refuse the lie, don’t accept defeat.
When they try to bind your will,
Rise as one, defiant still.
(Bridge)
Watch for the signs, the creeping net,
A dependency you’ll soon regret.
Reclaim your skills, your ties, your trade,
Forge communities that won’t be swayed.
Teach your children to think and fight,
To cherish freedom, to seek the light.
Grow your gardens, build your art,
Keep the power close to your heart.
(Verse 3)
The ruler fears a people free,
Who stand together, a great decree:
"We do not need your heavy hand,
We’ll shape the future, we’ll take our stand."
So push back hard, let them know,
That self-reliance is how you’ll grow.
No absolute power, no will subdued,
A world of equals, together renewed.
(Chorus)
Stand on your own two feet,
Refuse the lie, don’t accept defeat.
When they try to bind your will,
Rise as one, defiant still.
(Outro)
For freedom lives in the hearts that fight,
To claim the day, to hold the night.
Stand on your own, with voices loud,
A sovereign people, forever proud.
