Stand tall, O Man, with a courage all your own.
Stand tall, O Man, even if you stand alone.
Be strong and of good courage, be faithful, brave and true!
Stand tall, O Man, even when there’s no one left to stand with you!

Stand tall, O Man! Be a help to all in need.
With loyalty, be a friend in word and deed.
And when the Truth is challenged, stand up for what is right.
Stand tall, O Man, leading other men from darkness into light.

Be men of song, be lavish with true words of praise.
Confront the wrong, defend the weak thru all your days.
Admit your faults and strive from your mistakes to learn.
Be diligent and the respect of better men you will earn.
Stand tall, O Man! Stand tall!
