Verse 1 Morning come, but the road still rough Too many people never get enough Working hard just to stay alive Still we rise, still we strive Voices low but the truth runs deep Promises we were told to keep Time go slow but the fire stays Burning bright through the darker days ⸻ Chorus Stand in the light, don’t fade away Hold your ground, come what may Through the storm, through the fight We keep on standing in the light ⸻ Verse 2 See the system try to hold you down Turn your smile to a worried frown But the spirit no break, no bend Truth and love gonna rise again Children dream of a better way Not just living from day to day Hear the call in the distant sound Freedom rising from the ground ⸻ Chorus Stand in the light, don’t fade away… ⸻ Bridge No chains on the soul tonight We keep walking toward what’s right ⸻ Final Chorus (lift) Stand in the light, voices strong We’ve been waiting far too long Through the dark, we ignite Still we’re standing in the light
