Lyrics
They said sit down, keep it quiet I said no, I will not hide Morning sun is on my shoulder Truth is standing by my side Stand your ground, sing it loud Lift your head up to the sky Stand your ground, sing it loud Nobody can make you bow Heavy hands and heavy talking Still I walk the road up straight Many words are made for breaking Steady heart will never break Stand your ground, sing it loud Lift your head up to the sky Stand your ground, sing it loud Nobody can make you bow One voice, one voice Add it to the other one One voice, one voice Soon we are a choir Little man and little woman Plant your feet and hold the line Bass is rolling like a river Every step is keeping time Stand your ground, sing it loud Lift your head up to the sky Stand your ground, sing it loud Nobody can make you bow Stand your ground Sing it loud Sing it loud
