Stand Your Ground
Stand on our ground
Hey Now,
Love is raining down
Against the wind
We stand stall
Pushing forward
towards the wall
breaking through
by standing tall
un-wavering, un-moving
we had enough...
Hey Now,
Stand on our ground
Hey Now,
Love is raining down.
Just this one moment
scream out loud
Who cares about appearances
When I'm broken now.
Can I make a difference
Closing my eyes, making a sound
shattering old opinions
This is who I am.
This is who we are..
Hey Now,
Stand on our ground
Hey Now,
Love is raining down.
Shatter old opinions
This is who I am.
This is who we are..

We The Magic Dragons
We the magic dragons
drawn to the golden heart
fashioned by our pure will
created in His glory
We with shimmering skins
of green and blue and earth
shed yearly and daily the chains
that wrought irons within our soul.
Now we build and dream
opened to the sky and saw
The glory of the Lord
over the bridges and trenches
and under the deep blue sea
We carry the torch of love
burning and burning
through the dark alleyways
and into the steadfast homes
within our families
and with the ones we love.
We are called to speak the truth
Jesus was crucified because he was
and is and will be to come.
No one knew why the hate brew
Why the multitude forsake ethics and values.
They could not question the laws of man
and neither explain the truth
floating in the middle of their torrential minds.
He is the way, the truth and the life.
I believe because I saw and lived
I sought and felt while others ridiculed and humiliated me
I have no shame, I have heart.
We the magic dragons
swimming with wings through the sky
with hearts open to the Holy Spirit
who is pure love and fire
Our hearts gilded with gold and bronze
Follow us
The time will come
when no man can run
and there will be no place to hide.
