Stood Up
A Fine Frenzy · Bomb in a Birdcage [2009]
We stood up, we stood up
And there are two of us there will be more,
They'll show up, yeah they'll show up
They'll show up
Blame a change of mind
A seismic shift in times
They told us not to fight
But we'll fight it till we die
Cause we are not frightened anymore,
We stood up, we stood up
And there are two of us there will be many more,
They'll show up, yeah they'll show up
And so they sunk every ship we sailed
But we stood up, we stood up
And they fought hard, but somewhere fighting failed
They're all shook up, they're all shook up
All shook up
Steel and concrete break
Beneath the steady waves
Of fearless hope and grace
In kindness there is strength
Cause we are not frightened anymore,
We stood up, we stood up
And there are two of us there will be many more,
They'll show up, yeah they'll show up
