walking tall

the world's begun to look her age

i'll tell you why she lined and gray

we read her fate on every page

then turn our backs and walk away

why can't we stand

join hand to hand

it's time to care

we dare not wait

and watch too long become too late

there's so much hatred all around

let's end it now or it will roam

there's lots of heroes in the ground

but not enough are in the home

let's start again. don't say amen

open your eyes and lift your head

just help to right the wrongs we've bred

let us pray loudly

let us live proudly

and soon we'll all

be walking tall
