When an innocent life is lost
'Cause it fought for what is right
By standing up to darkness
We all must be that light.
If I stand up against hate (in spite of all my fear)
And someone strikes me down
The ground might be bloody but my conscience will be clear
More so than anyone who wasn't around.
We'll still stand
We'll still stand
We'll band together against all this darkness in our land
We'll still stand
We'll still stand
No torches, just a fire inside and a candle in our hand.
Do you really need reminding of the price that has been paid
We sent away the greatest generation so these colors wouldn't fade
Now this country that they died for is being torn apart by hate
And that might be what the worst among us want, but the best of us are here to tell you this won't be our fate.
We'll still stand
We'll still stand
We'll band together against all this darkness in our land
We'll still stand
We'll still stand
No torches, just a fire inside and a candle in our hand.
I don't know if I can make you see the light
From such a subtle glow
But the real flame is burning inside all our hearts
And we're here to let you know...
We'll still stand
We'll still stand
We'll band together against all this darkness in our land
We'll still stand
We'll still stand
No torches, just a fire inside and a candle in our hand.
We'll still stand
