Another one that came out of nowhere tonight. A lot of people are fighting the hard fight right now. This song is for them.

Lyrics

Capo 3

CHORUS
G D
I believe and you believe and we believe together
Em Em7
We will make it through the weather
Am7 D
We will make it through the storm
G D
I will go and you will go and we all will go together
Em Em7
We will make it to forever
Am7
We will make it to the morn-ing
D
And the day

Verse 1
G
One battle is behind us
Em
And now we face the war
C Am7
Now we go to meet the day
D
Though hungry, tired and sore
G
The fighting isn’t over
Em
We are here to stand again
C Am7
To face the coming armies
D
While sodden with the rain

Bridge 1
Am7 D
Although it may seem hopeless
Em Em7
I know one thing is true
Am7 D
You are standing here with me
Em Em7
As I stand here with you
Am7 D
We will face the coming struggle
Em Em7
And greet it full of cheer
Am7
Hold the line, never falter
D
Never fear

CHORUS

Verse 2
Keep your spirits up, my friends
Be the bold and true
We know the truth, we have no fear
And we will fight anew

We march again to stand our ground
And we will do our part
We have a thing they do not have
We are the fierce of heart

Bridge 2
Although it may seem helpless
Be merry, friends, be brave
Live to fight another day
For the future we will pave
We will face the coming battles
We will take the coming year
Hold the line, never falter
Never fear

CHORUS

OUTTRO
We will make it to the morning
And the day
This is the way

Solidarity, friend! I believe and you believe and we believe!
This is the song we need!

Excellent work! Thank you!

@karan 1w

Just listened to the news and immedately afterwards opened the FAWM page, finding this. How serentipitous! Thank you!

@janeg 1w

An uplifting song for whatever fight we face! Never thought I would find myself facing an army but maybe I will take this to the border for Canadians to sing as we repell American invaders. OK with you?

Thank you for writing this. I really like the melody's motion in the chorus, and the words are simple but powerful. You sound great - keep singing it loud!

@shuttlebat 2w

This is exactly what I needed to hear today - thank you!

Selfishly, you wrote this "generic" enough that it would fit fairly well in any larp/sca/not-modern setting, which I find myself needing music for rather often...it's uplifting in the best way.
