From the recording Stand Up
Lyrics
SPOKEN WORD:
Her face came to me
In a dream that took me deep
She may have been an angel
Or an echo
Calling me from sleep
VERSE 1:
She said, you never think about the sacrifice
Said, you don’t remember the unholy price
And you can hide behind your sanctity
But sometimes silence is complicity
Hold on she said don't let go of me
I’m your present and I’m your history
All that you enjoy every setting sun
Came on the back of some unknown someone
CHORUS:
Stand up together we are never gonna fall
Stand up for those of us who cannot stand at all
Stand up for all the ones who stood for us before
Stand up ‘cause now
We need to stand up even more
VERSE 2:
She said, we’ll be watching from the satellites
A sea of lights will get us through the night
‘Cause nothing’s given nothing’s guaranteed
The best things in life aren’t always free
PRE-CHORUS:
Hold on she said don't let go of me
I’m your present and I’m your history
All that you enjoy every setting sun
Came on the back of some unknown someone
CHORUS:
Stand up together we are never gonna fall
Stand up for those of us who cannot stand at all
Stand up for all the ones who stood for us before
Stand up ‘cause now
We need to stand up even more
BRIDGE
I will be strong won’t be defined by fear
I promise I will carry on from here
