“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.
