Hold Your Ground Lyrics - Singles - Keelaghan James

Somewhere inside my soul there is an echo of my youth 

Some pithy little saying that contained a grain of truth 

If patience is a virtue, persistence is its mark 

It's better light a candle than stand and curse the dark 

But if we stand together we might turn this world around 

Hold your ground 

In the corridors of power where our voice is seldom heard 

The status quo is what they want, they can get it with a word 

For us it takes a thousand voices, a million angry shouts 

To notify the ship of state to bring its course about 

But if we pull together we might turn this ship around 

Hold your ground 

Oh, this world is changing 

Spinning out through space and time 

Oh, it's rearranging 

All the things we thought were yours and mine 

You've got to hold your ground 

Hold your ground 

Hold your ground 

Sometimes it seems the motion is strictly retrograde 

There are so many reversals of advances that you've made 

The things you thought were changing have shuddered to a halt 

But if we stand together we might turn this world around 

Hold your ground 

Hold your ground 

Hold your ground 

It isn't for the faint of heart to bet when the odds are long 

And neither is it easy to be right in face of wring 

You must proceed from strength to strength, although the road is rough 

And sometimes human courage just isn't quite enough 

But if we stand together we might turn this world around 

Hold your ground 

Hold your ground 

Hold your ground 

Oh this world is changing
