Keelaghan James Hold Your Ground Lyrics

Hold Your Ground Lyrics

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
