Lyrics

FROM WHERE We STAND
From "American Twistory " finale song
By Kevin Kaufman, Sandy Sherman & Rob Bettan



From where I stand, the torch burns bright
An ever shining beacon in the night
Lighting the way for people from far and near
And telling them that all are welcome here

From where I stand, the flag's unfurled
It's sending out a message to the world
Saying as long as I'm waving proud and free
Then that's the way America will be

Let's embrace courage deep inside us
By never letting fear or terror guide us
We'll live with the hope of tomorrow
And follow where our hearts want to go

From where we stand, we will endure
A nation that's determined and secure
We pledge our trust that justice will conquer all
And knowing we belong
Will help us to be strong
And bravely rise to answer freedom's call
We'll never fall
From where we stand
From where we stand
From where we stand

And knowing we belong
Will help us to be strong
And bravely rise to answer freedom's call
We'll never fall
From where we stand ........From where we stand
From where we stand
