Stand Tall Brother, Stand Tall Sister by WhiskeyLeaks Music

(Verse 1)

Rising early in the morning, feel the whistle's mournful cry

Steel-toed boots and a heavy heart, but I keep my head held high

Down the line, the bosses whisper ‘bout fortunes that ain’t mine

But these calloused hands and a soul of pride, ain’t gonna tow their line

(Chorus)

So stand tall, brother, we’re stronger than they know

Can’t crush the working spirit, they'll reap what they sow

The truth is in our voices, in the mud beneath our feet

We’re the backbone of this country, and we won’t accept defeat

(Verse 2)

See those suits in the towers, counting cash on their golden thrones

Making laws to keep us down, while they worship what they own

But I see hope in the union hall, feel the fire in the street

‘Cause every time they push us down, we get back on our feet

(Chorus)

Stand tall, sister, don’t you let them steal your song

Raise your fists up high and tell them they were wrong

They can choke us with their power, try to cage a wild heart

But the thunder’s rolling closer, and we’ll tear it all apart

(Bridge)

They build their fuckin' walls, but we got truth and grit

We all stand together, we ain't taking no more shit

So light the torch of freedom, let the river wash us clean

We’re the sons and daughters rising, tearing through the machine

(Chorus/Outro)

Stand tall, brother, side by side we march along

With love for one another, we’re unbreakable, we’re strong

We’re the blood that runs this engine, we’re the hands that sow the seeds

Let the leaders hear our thunder, hear the working people’s creed
