(Intro) Shadow at the doorway, Whisper in the crowd, Turning us against each other, Making hatred loud. Painting us in colours, Telling us we don't belong, But beneath the flags and banners, We are singing one same song. [Pre-Chorus] Take my hand, Take your stand, Don't let them tear us apart. [Chorus] Stand together, Hold on tight. Love will overcome the night. Stand together, Don't let go. Love is stronger than we know. [Verse 2] Whispers through the wires, Poison in the air, Feeding fear and suspicion, Till compassion isn't there. Promise us protection, Feed us fear instead, But love can break the spell Before the words are said. [Pre-Chorus] Take my hand, Understand: They only win when we divide. [Chorus] Stand together, Hold on tight. Love will overcome the night. Stand together, Don't let go. Love is stronger than we know.... (Guitar Solo) [Bridge] Red and gold, Blue and green, Every colour in between. Every face, Every name, Different sparks from one bright flame. Let them shout, Let them scheme. We won't live inside their dream. We won't answer hate with hate— Love will choose our fate. [Instrumental Break: Stratocaster enters with lyrical fills, then erupts into a soaring, emotional solo & Choir.) [Final Chorus] Stand together, Hold on tight. Love will overcome the night. Stand together, Don't let go. Love is stronger than we know. When the walls come down, When the fear is gone, A thousand hearts together Will carry the song. Love will overcome. Love will overcome. Love will overcome. [Outro]
