[Verse 1]
They want us small
They want us split
One by one
They hope we quit
But I see your hands
I know that fire
Still in your chest
Still climbing higher
[Pre-Chorus]
So take my arm
And take your place
Hear that beat?
It’s our own heart’s pace
Hold your ground
Don’t let it shake
When we move together
Nothing breaks
[Chorus]
Stand as one
Stand as one
Lift your voice
Till the fear is gone
Stand as one
Stand as one
We are many
We are strong
(Stand as one)
(Stand as one)
We will not bend
We will not run
[Verse 2]
They draw their lines
They lock their doors
But every step
We’ve taken more
From porch to square
From door to door
We pass the word
We ask for more
Not gold, not crowns
Not praise, not fame
Just open hands
And one brave name
[Pre-Chorus]
So breathe me in
And stand your height
If we speak together
We turn the night
Hold your ground
Don’t let it shake
When we move together
Nothing breaks
[Chorus]
Stand as one
Stand as one
Lift your voice
Till the fear is gone
Stand as one
Stand as one
We are many
We are strong
(Stand as one)
(Stand as one)
We will not bend
We will not run
[Bridge]
If they come with walls
We come with song
If they come with chains
We march along
One breath, one call
One vow, one flame
A thousand names
One chosen frame
[Final Chorus]
Stand as one
Stand as one
Lift your voice
Till the fear is gone
Stand as one
Stand as one
We are many
We are strong
(Stand as one)
(Stand as one)
We will not bend
We will not run
Stand as one
Stand as one
As long as we rise
We can’t be undone
