Stand United | ORIGINAL Lyrics | Poem to Song

I was striving for a serious and contemplative mood that carried with it an inspirational and encouraging tune by mixing pop rock and a subtle hip hop cadence. After many versions made in Suno, I think this is as close as I can get to what I hear in my head. There will not be a male vocals version.

I wrote the original poem in 2021 when I realized just how much more deceptive the political left is than I already thought...and how easy it is for the media to lie about everything. I realized that we are in a war of a different kind, and we are fighting battles that don't look like anything we have seen before. And now with the murder of a good man for no reason this poem has taken on a deeper meaning and a bolder message. No one can truly fill Charlie Kirk's shoes, but I hope and pray the unfortunate inspiration that comes from his absence motivates and inspires us all to take up his mantle and carry his mission into the dark places he so bravely strode, even knowing his life may be in danger. The US and the world need his message now more than ever.

This is what the Lord says to you:
‘Do not be afraid or discouraged
because of this vast army.
For the battle is not yours, but God’s.
~ 2 Chron 20:15

Have I not commanded you?
Be strong and courageous.
Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged,
for the Lord your God will be
with you wherever you go.
~Joshua 1:9

Praise be to the Lord my Rock,
who trains my hands for war,
my fingers for battle.
He is my loving God and my fortress,
my stronghold and my deliverer,
my shield, in whom I take refuge,
who subdues peoples under me.
~ Psalm 144:1-2

Lyrics:

I've never been to war, but battle comes in many forms,
for our pride, for our honor, for this nation, and its people.

History is blistering with mistakes and victories,
but listen and learn, the truth will be laid bare,
not your truth but the truth
of how and why we're here.

Stand firm, patriots, with the colors flying high,
live unbound on our feet, be not coerced to our knees.
Warriors bleed as Lady Liberty pleads for justice and peace,
as enemies offer empty promises and beguiling hypocrisies.

I've never been to war, but battle comes in many forms,
for our words, for our souls, for our families, and our unity.
There's many reasons for joy, and a surplus steeped in sorrow,
but one nation under God be not torn asunder.

Be forewarned of distracting semantics and deflecting rationales.
Guard well against the enemy and their deceptive lips
bespeaking bogus empathy for passionate woes,
granting counterfeit statuses aiming to cleave souls conjoined.

Stand with hand to heart and eyes to the stars and stripes,
for the truth and our freedoms so long fought and won.
Warriors bleed as Lady Liberty pleads for justice and peace
as we rise to meet her demands with righteous dignity.

I've never been to war, but battle comes in many forms,
for our words, for our souls, for our families, and our unity.
There's many reasons for joy, and a surplus steeped in sorrow,
but one nation under God be not torn asunder.

I've never been to war, but battle comes in many forms,
for our hearts, for our future, and this Republic for which we stand.
Should We the People abide united, nothing can divide.
not their vile words
not their wicked ways

for this great nation

our home

We the People stand united
with our words
with our honor
for this great nation

our home.
