Stand Your Ground

from Smile by Andrew Newton

/

about

When you're down, there is no option but to get back up. Stand your ground.

lyrics

Not a thing for me here
And it’s worse than I feared
This house that was once a home
Has burned to the ground
And I find I am bound
To a future that’s never shown

So I head to the West
Where they say they know best
And I can finally start anew
Still the weight holds me back
And I’m given no slack
My options are far and few

But a voice says:

“Get on your feet and stand your ground”

This horizon is strange
What I left is out of range
These mountains, a curtain black
Try to see through the lines
But the sun never shines
Though a single ray lights a track

So I follow the lead
And I hope I succeed
‘Cause the weight I can bear no more
Now it seems like the end
And my back starts to bend
The darkness has settled the score

But a voice says:

“Get on your feet and stand your ground”

I hear the sound
I turn around
An angel shining bright

I hold your hand
We cross this land
To our refuge from the night

This darkened night
