Stand Your Ground - Lyrics
Kimwei McCarthy, Grand Bard of Exeter
March 2nd 2022
It’s not for me to say stay strong.
It’s not for me to say carry on.
This is not what you deserve:
Having no choice but to serve.
I watch you weeping
And I’m not there to hold your hand.
I won't be there to help you stand.
I hope someone hears your call
And can catch you when you fall.
I watch you falling
And I will send my thoughts
Like angels on the wind.
May they wrap their wings around you as you...
...Stand your ground.
While your world is falling down
We are thinking of you now.
Stand your ground.
We are sending angels now.
It’s time for us to pray for you -
That you can do this better than you think you can do.
When your loved ones are all gone
It’s not for me to say stay strong -
You need an angel
So I will make my thoughts
Grow wings into the night
After curfew hear them singing as you...
...Stand your ground
While your world is falling down
We are thinking of you now
Stand your ground
We are sending angels now
Where is the soundtrack for the
climate revolution? I believe it is down to us all to make it. This year I've teamed up with folk musicians Chris Dance, Lisa Rowe & Anita Clarinet to make the songs of tomorrow’s history: music that births change - a lush landscape of vocal harmonies, guitar, strings & woodwind to surround and transform you....more
