I stand as God wants me to stand
That is how I believe our lives were planned
Never on people's shoulders, but at their side
To help one another and not to run-a-way and hide.
When I talk to anyone I look at them eye to eye
To be friends with my neighbors I will always try
They are not better than me, so I never look at their feet
With a simple smile and handshake I will always greet.
I believe that I am better than no other man
We all were created with the same ideals and plan
And I also believe that no man is better than me
We all just want to be happy and proud and free.
When I walk I will never step on any-ones toes
I tend to want to make friends and never any foes
And never for help will I push anyone away
Honor and pride and strength I will not disobey.
I will stand on my two feet or with crutches or with a cane
And if I am crippled I still will be standing, but only in my brain
Only times that I'll be on my knees is when to GOD I will pray
And when my life here is over, then in my coffin I will lay.
