On my feet I stand tonight
Stand and step up to the light
An extraordinary man
Unbroken in a breaking light

Forever after days
Stand and make myself a crown
To the table I step alone
Hold my own above the ground

Take my shot under the light
Heroes come the common way
Pull myself into the sky
Wrap me in the banner I made

On my feet I stand tonight
Stand alone inside the air
An extraordinary man
Everything stops and holds me there

Forever after days
Stand and make myself a crown
To the table I step alone
And hold my own above the ground

Take my shot under the light
Heroes come the common way
Pull myself into the sky
Wrap me in the banner I made

Forever after days
Stand and make myself a crown
To the table I step alone
And hold my own above the ground

Take my shot under the light
Heroes come the common way
Pull myself into the sky
Wrap me in the banner I made

    This could be interpreted as a song about Jesus, but I think its about Christians who try to live like Christ. It's mocking the self-righteousness that's prevalent in the Christian community. "Take my shot under the light, heroes come the common way, pull myself into the sky, wrap me in the banner I made" I claim to be a Christian, but I constantly struggle with the root of my sinful nature (self-righteousness) and continually pray for faith in Christ alone.
