What is it worth when the threads wearing thing
When you fight a war that no one can win
  Just loss after loss, Again and again
All hope is lost is it time to give in

   You fought a hard fight
   With all of your might
       And you always did 
   What you though was right
   The battle is done
   But the war rages on
       Is there nothing left
          On which to go along 
            
Light the lantern in your hand

   Stand up 
       and have reason to rejoice
   Stand up 
       And realize that you have a voice 
             Stand up and shout
             Make them hear you out
Choose to heard because it's your choice

What do you have when reality's sent 
You to the streets because you can't pay rent
    Night after night, You wish it would end
Your next meal relies on your last fifty cents
           
       What do you do 
       When you're left alone
           Or when you call 
       The park bench your home
       You live in poverty
       You just wish to be 
            Free of this curse 
                And its awful fee
       
Light the lantern in your hand

   Stand up 
       and have reason to rejoice
   Stand up 
       And realize that you have a voice 
             Stand up and shout
             Make them hear you out
Choose to heard because it's your choice
   
  Stand up and take the hand of your friend
  Stand up and take the lantern in hand
I think the message is pretty clear, but it is still up for interpretation
