Hold the Ground (wersja 2)

Verse 1 – male tenor

Granite beneath the city's feet

Skyscrapers rising, wilder than the trees

Every voice in this concrete street

Was once an anthem from the breeze

Pre-Chorus

So hold the ground, keep your hands up high

Hold the ground, let your spirit fly

Chorus – both vocals with layered harmonies

Hold the ground, don't let it break

Rise above, never lose the shake

We're holding on through rain and fire

Still standing tall like we're not tired

Hold the ground, hold the light

Every step keeps you flying tonight

Hold the ground, don't look down

Your own two feet keep turning round

Verse 2 – female alto

Old piano keys still echoing in my mind

The same four chords my mother learned from hers

I was small and full of wonder then

I'm just as wide awake now, again

Pre-Chorus

So hold the ground, keep your hands up high

Hold the ground, let your spirit fly

Chorus – both vocals with layered harmonies

Hold the ground, don't let it break

Rise above, never lose the shake

We're holding on through rain and fire

Still standing tall like we're not tired

Hold the ground, hold the light

Every step keeps you flying tonight

Hold the ground, don't look down

Your own two feet keep turning round

Bridge

No one promised that this road would be an easy climb

But every mountain made me a little more mine

So I don't let go even when it feels like falling

I catch myself in the same old way I was calling

I hold the ground and I watch the sky change color

And for once, I'm not trying to hold anything longer

Chorus – both vocals with layered harmonies

Hold the ground, don't let it break

Rise above, never lose the shake

We're holding on through rain and fire

Still standing tall like we're not tired

Hold the ground, hold the light

Every step keeps you flying tonight

Hold the ground, don't look down

Your own two feet keep turning round

Outro – both vocals soft, layered

Hold the ground

Don't let it break

You're still standing tall
