"It is about what we need to do to right our ship"

Hold Your Ground by James Keelaghan

Somewhere in side 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 it's mark
It's better to light a candle that 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 it's course about
But if we pull together we might turn this ship around
Hold your ground

Ooooh, this world is changing
Spinning out through space and time
Ooooh, it's rearranging
All the things we though were yours and mine
You've got to hold your ground
Hold your ground X3

Sometimes it seems the motion is strictly retrograde
There are so many reverses of advances that you've made
the things you though were changing
Have shuddered to a halt
The only view is forward when your backs against the wall
But if we stand together We might turn this world around
Hold your ground

It's isn't for the faint of heart to bet when odds are long
And neither is it easy to be right in the face of wrong
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 X3

Ooooooooo This world is changing
