Get On Your Knees and Fight Like A Man by Petra

I once was in a march in Washington and was wearing a Petra t-shirt that said this song title on the back and I got stopped and interviewed on the radio for it. They asked me what the back of the shirt meant and I remember having to stop and think "what shirt do I have on?" before answering. I never heard the interview on the radio but I was interviewed.

Out on your own with your own self reliance

You've got no one to watch your back

You find yourself caught with no strong alliance

You've been left open for attack

Over your head the condition is graver

You've given ground you can't retrieve

The cards are stacked and they're not in your favor

But you've got an ace up your sleeve

Get on your knees and fight like a man

You'll pull down strongholds if you just believe you can

Your enemy will tuck his tail and flee

Get on your knees and fight like a man

Under the gun, you've got no place to hide out

Backed in the corner on your own

This is one storm you are destined to ride out

One way to leave the danger zone

Get on your knees and fight like a man

You'll pull down strongholds if you just believe you can

Your enemy will tuck his tail and flee

Get on your knees and fight like a man

You've got the backbone to fight this tide

You've got the will to survive

You've got the weapon, it's at your side

You've got to learn to confide 

Get on your knees and fight like a man

You'll pull down strongholds if you just believe you can

Your enemy will tuck his tail and flee

Get on your knees and fight like a man
