We Shall Stand

Dustin Strong

Shall we break?
Or stay strong?

Shall we love?
Or shatter?

We shall stand
As one
To stop the tears

We shall stand
Together
To stop the pain

We shall stand
As one
To stop the hate

We shall stand
Together
To stop fear

We shall stand
As one
In the name of love

We shall stand
As one
In the name of acceptance

We shall stand
As one
In the name of happiness
