who's gonna stand with me on this bridge tonight
I'm calling out to brother and sister to stand up and fight
if there's one thing from history we should have learned
that if we don't make this stand together this bridge may burn
who's gonna stand
who's gonna stand
who's gonna stand
with me (here) tonight
some say that I be crazy for misreading the signs
can't you hear the beating of the drums from enemy lines
the time for lofty words and shaking fists has come and gone
take up your sword and shield for the battle lines have been drawn
for your sons and all your daughters
for all that you hold dear
would you lay your life down
or lock your doors and hide away in fear
who's gonna stand with me on this bridge tonight
I swear you will regret the day you didn't stand and fight
for when we stand together we be more than flesh and bone
when our spirits are united we don't have to stand alone
