When the stranger came to town
All the people watched with wonder
In their tattered clothes
Gathered round and raised their eyes up from the dirt

And the stranger said to them
I have been upon the mountain
I have witnessed forces
Like cannons that can ram you to the ground

Stand up on your feet
Your life is short as hell
You could be dead tomorrow
Today may be

Your last chance
To believe in yourself
Your last chance to yell
Your last chance
To be good to yourself
Your last chance to drink from life's well

In the crowd a voice was heard
Should you get them before they get you
Should we strike the first blow
He said no, no, no, you don't understand

The enemy is in your heart
Self respect robbed by self pity
Look across the country
All the people with their dreams dead in their heart

Stand up on your feet
Your life is short as hell
You could be dead tomorrow
Today may be

Your last chance
To believe in yourself
Your last chance to yell
Your last chance
To be good to yourself
Your last chance to drink from life's well

It could be your last chance
To believe in yourself
Your last chance to yell
Your last chance
To be good to yourself
Your last chance to drink from life's well
Drink from the well
