Be brave and defend- what you’ve always believed Stand proud! Embrace and enjoy - all you’ve earned and achieved Verse 3 Great men devised and designed - a framework to view That parchment has yellowed and dried, but the words still ring true And so they remain and have always stood We trust and live by those words -they’re the root of all good (Musical interlude) Family, home, freedom and faith They’re the root of all good That’s right! The root of all good

The solution’s well-known The age old secret to love – Is to put her wishes above those of your own Verse 3: She can’t admit it when she makes a mistake His cold indifference makes her troubled heart ache They just can’t fix it though they’ve tried and tried But neither cares to see the other’s side They might as well face it- they’re divided by pride Instrumental: Bridge: Listen up, sister! Some advice for you, too The path to successful romance – Is to do for your baby as you’d like done for you Verse 4: She can’t admit it when she makes a mistake His cold indifference makes her troubled heart ache They just can’t fix it though they’ve tried and tried But neither cares to see the other’s side They might as well face it- they’re divided by pride, divided by pride It’s too late, lovers – you’re divided by pride Coda: Divided by pride It’s no use, baby/Forget about it, baby/Say bye, bye, baby/It’s a damn shame, darlin’, but you’re, etc……
