“Stand As One”

⸻

(Intro)

Yeah…

Look around for a minute…

Tell me what you see.

⸻

(Verse 1)

All this hate in the air, feel the weight of despair

Every channel’s a panel full of anger and glare

Different faiths, different flags, different labels we wear

But we’re fighting each other while the truth disappears

Left and the right in a fight for the mic

Throwing spite in the night while they write what we like

Keep us blind to the signs, keep the lies looking bright

While the people divide every side of the line

Man I remember the days when the dream felt alive

Working hard for a house, couple kids and a wife

Laughing late with your mates, chasing goals in your life

Now the hope’s getting thin and the road’s getting tight

⸻

(Hook)

Why can’t we stand together, weather storms in the rain

Different names, different faiths, still the blood is the same

Under one sun rising, still we’re stuck in the game

Of the lies and division they’ve been feeding the flame

History speaks in cycles, read the lines in the page

Weak men leading nations bring the hardest of days

When the strong stay silent, fear tightens the cage

Then the storm rolls in like a fire through sage

⸻

(Verse 2)

Now they mock every man with a spine made of steel

Say that strength is oppressive, say the drive isn’t real

But when the world starts falling and the pressure reveals

Who’s the one standing tall when the damage is real?

Strong men build foundations, hold the weight of the ground

While the weak chase approval, trying not to be loud

But the truth’s in the roots when the storms gather clouds

Every empire collapses when the backbone bows

See the cycle repeating, every chapter the same

When the brave stop speaking, that’s when darkness can reign

But the hope’s still living in the hearts of the sane

If we stand up together, we can break every chain

⸻

(Final Hook)

Same sky above us, same ground that we tread

Different voices speaking, same dream in our heads

If the hate keeps rising, then the future turns red

But if we stand united, maybe peace lies ahead.
