FULL ENSEMBLE
Through the dark, and
through the hunger
Through the night and
through the fear
Through the fight and
years of hardship
Through the storms and
through the tears
And although your feet are weary,
And although your soul is worn
And although they'll try to break you,
And although you'll feel alone
We will always stand together
In the dark, right through the storm.
We will stand, shoulder to shoulder
To keep us warm.
And the stars look down on the mean and hungry
And the stars look down and show the way
And the stars look down and we'll stand together
To see a day
When the stars look down and know our history
When the stars look down upon our past
And the stars look down and see a future bright at last
When we'll stand as one, beneath the sun
And though our hands are bruised and bleeding
And our lungs are full with dust
And our hearts are near to breaking
We will never forgo the trust
We will fight through pain and hunger
Every arrow, every knife.
And we will never give the hope up
Of a proud and honest life
So we will always stand together
Through the frost, the hail, the snow
The stars are our redemption
And some know.
The stars look down when we're abandoned,
Look down in the heart of night
And the stars look down and give us vision
To see the light.
The stars look down upon our struggle
The stars look down and know the past
The stars look down and see a future bright at last
When we'll stand as one, beneath the sun.
All out together
All out as one
All out for victory
Till we've won.
All out together
All out as one
All out for victory
All out till we've won
BILLY
Take me up and hold me gently
Raise me up and hold me high
Through the nights under darkness
Will come a day whet we will fly
And although we've been rejected
And although we've been outcast
We will find a new tomorrow
When we come to rest at last
And we will stand there proudly
And we will never walk alone
And we will be returned
Back to our home
FULL ENSEMBLE
And the stars look down at their reflection
And the stare look down and there's a light
When the stars look down they'll see the justice
And the right
And the stars look down and see the struggle
And the stars look down and know the pain
And the stars will lead us back to where light shines again
Where we'll stand as one beneath the sun
One beneath the sun
When we stand as one
All out together,
When we stand as one all out as one,
When we stand as one all out for victory,
When we stand as one till we've won.
When we stand as one all out together,
When we stand as one all out as one,
When we stand as one all out for victory,
When we stand as one till we've won
When we stand as one all out together,
When we stand as one all out as one,
When we stand as one all out for victory,
All out till we've won.
