Lyrics

Hold the Line (partial capo on 5,4,3,2,1) in E
E
When the darkness spreads across the land
A
And heroes cease to lend a hand
E
When the light inside our children’s eyes
B
Begins to fade like evening skies,

We must light the torch.
We must raise our voice.
With our arms entwined.
We can hold the line.

Chorus
E A
We can hold the line. We can hold the line.
E B
We can hold — the line.
C#m A
We can hold the line. Yes, this is our time.
F#m B - - E
To let love shine, to hold the line. (2nd time 3x)

When all your dreams are swept aside
Like a giant wave, a rising tide
When the fire that kept you up at night
Is out of reach and out of sight.

You can stand with me.
The whole world will see.
Through the winds of change and sharp decline,
Together we can hold the line.
Full Chorus
Break to verse music
C#m A
We can hold the line. Yes, this is our time.
F#m B E B E B E
To let love shine, to hold the line. Hold the line, Hold the line
