Somewhere inside my soul there is an echo of my youthSome pithy little saying that contained a grain of truthIf patience is a virtue, persistence is its markIt's better light a candle than stand and curse the darkBut if we stand together we might turn this world aroundHold your groundIn the corridors of power where our voice is seldom heardThe status quo is what they want, they can get it with a wordFor us it takes a thousand voices, a million angry shoutsTo notify the ship of state to bring its course aboutBut if we pull together we might turn this ship aroundHold your groundOh, this world is changingSpinning out through space and timeOh, it's rearrangingAll the things we thought were yours and mineYou've got to hold your groundHold your groundHold your groundSometimes it seems the motion is strictly retrogradeThere are so many reversals of advances that you've madeThe things you thought were changing have shuddered to a haltBut if we stand together we might turn this world aroundHold your groundHold your groundHold your groundIt isn't for the faint of heart to bet when the odds are longAnd neither is it easy to be right in face of wringYou must proceed from strength to strength, although the road is roughAnd sometimes human courage just isn't quite enoughBut if we stand together we might turn this world aroundHold your groundHold your groundHold your groundOh this world is changing
