Prevail

[acoustic guitar intro] [verse 1] Often times I wonder What this world is all about You work so hard to get ahead But it's never enough And still, I keep on going, I'm never giving out The powerful, they think they've won, Think they're so tough [pre-chorus] If no one ever took a chance Where would we be today The boy who asked the girl to dance Will never be afraid [chorus] Stand up and tell your story The failing and the glory We need to hear your tale And let our lore prevail [verse 2] We know that we're the ones Who make the world go round The cabbies and the factory workers The Moms and Dads I think it's time we all stood up To make that piercing sound Everyone deserves a chance To be happy or sad [pre-chorus] If no one tried their very best Where would we be right now The girl who passed the toughest test Is destined to know how [chorus] Stand up and tell your story The failing and the glory We need to hear your tale And let our lore prevail [bridge] If only I had learned this lesson So many years before Now here's my true confession I really do need you Lord [chorus] Stand up and tell His story Of all His faith and glory We need to hear His tale And let our Lord prevail [solo] [chorus] Stand up and tell His story Of all His faith and glory We need to hear His tale And let our Lord prevail [outro] [end]
