Who will stand up for me?

Who stands up for the poor and defenceless?
Who stands up for the old and infirm?
Who will be the hero and the nemesis?
Of the evil ones who won't take any blame?
Whose side are you on?
Do you really care?
What happens to the weak and lame?
Those little ones without a voice of their own!
What chance has any of these?
If we don't stand united?
And demand a fairer place for us all?
When you are ill and weak?
Who will protect you?
Do you have someone who is tough enough?
To withstand the horrors for you?
Who will stand up for me when the time comes?
Will you?
