Verse 1
G 
Somewhere inside my soul there
is an echo of my youth
Some pithy little saying
that contained a grain of truth
C 
If pa tience is a virtue,
persistence is its mark
G 
It's better light a candle
than stand and curse the dark
D 
But if we stand together we might
Am 
C 
turn this world around
G 
C 
Hold your ground
G 
In the corridors of power where our
voice is seldom heard
The status quo is what they want,
they can get it with a word
C 
For us it takes a thousand voices,
a million angry shouts
G 
To notify the ship of state
to bring its course about
D 
But if we pull together we might
Am 
C 
turn this ship around

G 
Sometimes it seems the motion
is strictly retrograde
There are so many reversals of advances
that you've made
C 
The things you thought were changing
G 
have shuddered to a halt
D 
Am 
C 
But if we stand together we might turn this world

G 
It isn't for the faint of heart to bet
when the odds are long
And neither is it easy to be
right in face of wring
C 
You must proceed from strength to strength,
although the road is rough
G 
And sometimes human courage
just isn't quite enough
D 
But if we stand together we might
Am 
C 
turn this world around
Hold your ground
Hold your ground
G 
C 
Hold your ground
Em 
C 
Oh  this world is changing
