Stand up you foolish man I have walked with you for miles
If you deny me in front of every man I must forget you in the end
I have walked through this desert with your face burned on my brain
I have walked through the valleys knowing I would see you again

Why won't you stand up? Stand up now…
Why won't you stand up?

Rise up my fallen friend for you have missed your mark again
You must grab hold of one of my wounded arms
You must explain my death to your friends
I have walked through the desert with your face burned on my brain
I have walked through the valley knowing I would see you again

Why won't you stand up? Stand up now…
Why won't you stand up? Why won't you stand up now?
