Stand Beside Me

Sister, stand beside me – Sister, lend your arm
Brother, stand beside me – Brother, lend your arm
An Empire’s heart lies stricken
And this fight has nearly come
Let them sing
They will sing of glory when we've gone

Sister, stand beside me – Sister, lend your arm
Brother, stand beside me – Brother, lend your arm
Vigilant against the world,
Virtue keep us strong
Let them sing
They’ll sing of glory when we've gone

Sister, stand beside me – Sister, lend your arm
Brother, stand beside me – Brother, lend your arm
All it takes is one to say
“We can take that ground”
Let them sing
They’ll sing of glory when we've gone

Sister, stand beside me – Sister, lend your arm
Brother, stand beside me – Brother, lend your arm
Let a people stand again and
Learn a new song
Let them sing
They’ll sing of glory when we've gone

They’ll sing of glory when we've gone

Brother, stand beside me – Brother, lend your arm
Brother, stand beside me – Brother, lend your arm
The land below lies stricken
And this fight has nearly come
Let them sing our praises when we've gone

Brother, stand beside me – Brother, lend your arm
Brother, stand beside me – Brother, lend your arm
See the weakness in the world
And choose to be strong
Let them sing our praises when we've gone

Brother, stand beside me – Brother, lend your arm
Brother, stand beside me – Brother, lend your arm
All it takes is one to say
“We'll take back that ground”
Let them sing our praises when we've gone

Brother, stand beside me – Brother, lend your arm
Brother, stand beside me – Brother, lend your arm
Let a world too tired to sing
Relearn its song
Let them sing our praises when we've gone

Let them sing our praises when we've gone
