We Stand and We Fight

As a child I sat on my fathers knee

He looked in my eyes and said to me

"Son you gotta fight if you wanna stay free"

I didn't know that he meant right then

But as I grew, my truest friend

Said, "Ken, it's up to us to defend"

So we stand and we fight

For what we know to be right

And we'll stand until our dying day

Yeah, we stand and we fight

With all of our might

We'll blow away whatever stands in our way

And all through my growing years

I heeded those words with avid ears

And I learned we'd been in chains for years

And I pledged to my father there and then

We'd do our best me and my friends

We'd put our countries pain to an end

The older I got the more truth I learned

About how a heritage was butchered and burnt

And we were forced to be something we weren't

But I met more like me, so single minded

Who refused their lies, would not be blinded

Through love, pride and faith, we were soon binded

So that brings us up to the present day

And although the threat hasn't gone away

We have the strength to keep the beast away

Still we have to fight for each of our rights

To keep the scared flame burning bright

So stand up with us, stand and fight
