"We Will Stand" lyrics

"We Will Stand"

You can take a look in a dusty book
Through the sentiments of time
In the age old land of the calloused hand
Your dignity's defined

There's a calmness here at this time of year
When the men return to the fields
When the wind blows strong and the nights grow long
At the door your hunger yields

So tell me that you'll hold me
Stronger we will stand
I can see the day when we'll know the way
And we'll return to the land

When the martyrs fall from the castle wall
And menace clouds the air
When reason dies to the sound of lies
You'll be far away from there

So tell me that you'll hold me
Stronger we will stand
I can see the day when we'll know the way
And we'll return to the land

So tell me that you'll hold me
Stronger we will stand
I can see the day when we'll know the way
And we'll return to the land

When the death knell tolls
Like in days of olden times you will foresee
When your children smile
And your heart runs wild, and you'll be free

So tell me that you'll hold me
Stronger we will stand
I can see the day when we'll know the way
And we'll return to the land

So tell me that you'll hold me
Stronger we will stand
I can see the day when we'll know the way
And we'll return to the land

So tell me that you'll hold me
Stronger we will stand
Tell me that you'll hold me
Stronger we will stand

I can see the day when we'll know the way
And we'll return to the land
I can see the day when we'll know the way
And we'll return to the land
