Title:
“One Last Stand”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Em Am
In the stillness of the night
D G
Waiting for the morning light
Em Am
The shadows whisper secrets,
D G
Untold stories of our fights
(Chorus)
C G D Em
Here we are, ready for one last stand
C G D Em
Against the tides, we fight, hand in hand
(Verse 2)
Em Am
In the echoes of the past
D G
Our voices, loud and vast
Em Am
With courage in our hearts
D G
We’re breaking free, at last
(Chorus)
C G D Em
Here we are, ready for one last stand
C G D Em
Against the tides, we fight, hand in hand
(Outro)
C G D Em
With hope, we rise, together we stand
C G D Em
In this moment, under the stars, it’s our wonderland
