Lyrics Matthew West

Matthew West

Stand

It was an ordinary morning

At the school upon the hill

The sun was slowly rising

The flag was standing still

And the students were rushing to face another day

But in the middle of the madness

There was one who made her way

She was standing by the flagpole

But she bowed her head to pray

And she said "I, I will not be afraid"

She said, who will stand, stand together

Heart to heart, reaching out for love

Hand in hand with each other

By God's grace, who will stand?

Now everyone was watching

Staring at the girl

Some of them were laughing

And calling her a fool

And they said, "She, ohh she will stand alone"

But then one by one they stepped out

And one by one they came

Breaking form their silence

With a simple act of faith

And they cried, "We, oh, we are not ashamed, no"

And we will stand, stand together

Heart to heart, reaching out for love

Hand in hand with each other

By God's grace, we will stand

And we will stand up for what we believe

We will stand up for our freedom

And we'll stand up for one nation under God

With liberty and justice for all

We will stand, stand together

Heart to heart, reaching out for love

We will stand, stand together

Heart to heart, reaching out for love

Hand in hand with each other

And by God's grace, we will stand

We will stand, we will stand, together

And by God's grace, we will stand

Heart to heart, hand in hand

We are not ashamed to stand

Heart to heart, hand in hand

We are not ashamed to stand

Heart to heart, hand in hand

We are not ashamed to stand
