Matthew West - Stand lyrics

It was an ordinary morning

At the school upon the hill

The sun was slowly rising

The flag was standing still

And the students were rushing

To face another day

But in the middle of the madness

There was one who made her way

She was standing at the flagpole

She bowed her head to pray

She said "I, I will not be afraid."

Chorus

Who will stand, stand together

Heart to heart reaching out for love

Hand in hand with each other

By God's grace, who will stand?

Now everyone was watching

Staring at the girl

Some of them were laughing

And calling her a fool

They said "She, ohh she will stand alone"

But one by one they stepped out

One by one they came

Breaking formt heir silence

With a simple act of faith

They said "We, no we are not ashamed"

Chorus

We will stand, stand together

Heart to heart reaching out for love

Hand in hand with each other

By God's grace, we will stand

Bridge

And we will stand up for what we believe

We will stand up for our freedom

we wills tand up for one nation under God

With liberty and justice for all!

Chorus
