about

Imposed lockdowns, forced vaccinations, biased reporting.
2020-21
That is why I wrote this song.

lyrics

I'm standing up for what's right for me
I've thought, and sought and I believe
My heart and mind both agree
I need to stand for my Liberty
I won't submit my soul
Just because you want control

Let's make room for acceptance of each other
Even though we both see things differently;
It is just as hard for me to accept your position
As it is for you to accept me

I won't be subject to conformity
'cause I'm not doin' what you expect of me
Each person has the right to be free
To stand for their beliefs; I hope you agree.
I won't submit my soul
Just because you want control

Instrumental
It is just as hard for me to accept your position
As it is for you to accept me

I'm standing up for what's right for me
I've thought, and sought and I believe
My heart and mind both agree
I need to stand for my Liberty
I won't submit my soul
Just because you want control

Let's make room for acceptance of each other
Even though we both see things differently;
It is just as hard for me to accept your position
As it is for you to accept me

I'm standing up for what's right for me
