Stand Up and be Counted
Stand up and be counted,
Although, somehow, you'll fail;
Stand up and be counted --
Hands sweat, your face turns pale;
Stand up and be counted
You're human like the rest;
Stand up and be counted,
Fear not to be the best.
Dare to make an effort,
For every effort counts;
Dare to make an effort --
Build fast with small amounts.
Dare to make an effort;
Each failure speeds success.
Dare to make an effort
And fear not to impress.
Let yourself succeed, then,
Don't struggle or resist.
Let yourself succeed, then:
Take aim, and just persist.
Let yourself succeed, then;
You will, if you don't mind.
Let yourself succeed, then:
You're building humankind.
