(Verse 1) Well, the loudmouths are talking on the television screen Selling hatred and division, the meanest ever seen They think that power is a hammer, breaking everything in sight But there’s a quiet rumble growing in the middle of the night It’s the folks who know that kindness isn’t weakness, it’s our strength We’re waking from a slumber, we are going to any length. (Chorus) Oh, we’re standing up together for the honest and the kind For the empathetic tribe that they tried to leave behind Put away the arrogance, the ego, and the lies We are building up a fortress with the truth in our eyes Yeah, the gentle ones are rising, and the power’s coming round We’re taking back the future, we are standing on this ground. (Verse 2) It’s the neighbor checking in when they know you’re doing bad It’s the honest voice of reason when the world is going mad They don’t need to shout to show them they are here to stay Empathy is building up a brand new kind of day No more bowing to the cynics, no more bowing to the fear We are holding on to honor, and we’re keeping it right here. (Chorus) Oh, we’re standing up together for the honest and the kind For the empathetic tribe that they tried to leave behind Put away the arrogance, the ego, and the lies We are building up a fortress with the truth in our eyes Yeah, the gentle ones are rising, and the power’s coming round We’re taking back the future, we are standing on this ground. (Bridge) They say the soft-hearted get trampled in the race But they’ve never seen a community when it finds its grace We are locking arms, we are moving as one heart And a little bit of goodness is tearing them apart. (Chorus) Oh, we’re standing up together for the honest and the kind For the empathetic tribe that they tried to leave behind Put away the arrogance, the ego, and the lies We are building up a fortress with the truth in our eyes Yeah, the gentle ones are rising, and the power’s coming round We’re taking back the future, we are standing on this ground. (Outro) Yeah, the honest and the kind... We’re not leaving them behind... Stand up, stand up, for the kind... (Fade out) The kind...
