The Belleville Outfit - Time to Stand Lyrics

They told me all the things to do
So I could lead a life like them.
Now it's my choice to sink below
the water's edge or swim,
the water's edge or swim.
To crawl and then to walk
is how the maker lays our path.
Before we realize our time,
We're running from our past,
running from our past.
I lay here and surrender,
fear to understand.
Silently the night will pass,
Illuminate our plan
Illuminate our plan.
So listen with your gleaming ears
All who walk our broken land.
You've crawled, you've walked,
you've run away,
But now it's time to stand,
now it's time to stand.
