Lyrics:

STAND YOUR GROUND

Don't want to scare you or make you fear the world
But sadly this life's not what you're told
Your dreams may guide you filling you with hope
Though sadly you'll have to let some go

Hold my hand - Sometimes it hurts
When I'm gone - Recall those words

You have to rise high - over every single blade
That stand in ranks before they're tearing you down
Be brave, be strong, be everything - The regiment of life
Will wear you down, so stand your ground, stand your ground

The rain may fall down on your face
This place is killing you - time just goes so slow
With everything you have displaced
This race is far too long, go on with the flow

Hold my hand - We'll make it through
When I'm gone - I'll watch over you

You have to rise high - over every single blade
That stand in ranks before they're tearing you down
Be brave, be strong, be everything - The regiment of life
Will wear you down, so stand your ground, stand your ground

Don't want to scare you, come and hold me tight
Oh baby your life has just begun
Your dreams will guide you through the darkest night
Just wait and see, you will stand so strong

Take my hand - I'll hold it tight
When I'm gone - You will shine so bright

You have to rise high - over every single blade
That stand in ranks before they're tearing you down
Be brave, be strong, be everything - The regiment of life
Will wear you down, so stand your ground, stand your ground

You have to rise high - over every single blade
That stand in ranks before they're tearing you down
Be brave, be strong, be everything - The regiment of life
Will wear you down, so stand your ground, stand your ground
