[cp2] g - d -em -c two people make a family it's gonna take a whole village before too long you got yourself a nation

but the bad guys are coming around it happens every single time your words are loud but they're coming out swinging

strike the anvil while it's hot break bread when it's cooling off round the table we gather we gotta get everyone together

d these are the times they will speak of us em stand tall be firm live brave c g these are the songs our kids will sing d em these are the stories history will tell c and you living them out g so you better stand up right now

g - d -em -c what's the deal with good or bad the truth is, real is neither the pacifist grows old and grey while the solider dies alone

when the cart comes round to collect the dead will you yell out instead stand tall be firm live brave

[chorus]

em - c it's a hard time to be alive g - d that's the truth of any age passing by you didn't climb these stairs your didn't tear down these walls to be told to go home , to turn around em stand tall be firm live brave c stand tall be firm live brave
