Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Lonely fear lights up the sky Can't help but wonder why You're so far away There, you had to take a stand In someone else's land Life can be so strange I wish we never had to chose To either win or lose That we could find a way But I won't turn my back again Your honor I'll defend So hurry home, till then [Chorus:] Stand tall; stand proud! Voices that care are crying out loud And when you close your eyes tonight Feel in your heart how our love burns bright I'm not here to justify the cause Or to count up all the loss That's all been done before I just can't let you feel alone When there's so much love at home We're sending out to you All the courage that you've known The bravery you've shown Clearly lights the way We pray, to make the future bright To make the wrong things right (Rap: Right or wrong, we're all praying you'll remain strong That's why we're all here and singing along) [Chorus:] And when you close your eyes tonight Feel in your heart how our love burns bright You are the voice You are the light [Chorus:] You are the voice and the guiding light Feel in your heart how our love burns bright
