about

Virginia's call for those in power who represent themselves rather than the people they are supposed to serve to Stand Down is idealistic, but certainly resonates with our audiences. Played live, the message is powerful and generates joyful audience participation. Together our voices are stronger!

lyrics

Stand down words and music-Virginia Kettle
We are freedom, we are mercy, we are justice
Travelling far and long; joining forces, marching on
Now we are 10 million strong
To the leaders of the world we say be warned
Hell hath no fury like a people scorned
And oh, oh, oh a change is coming

We are freedom, we are mercy, we are justice
There’s no human traffic here, we will not be bought or sold
Put away your dirty gold
To the leaders of the world we say be told
We are the very laws you were elected to uphold
And oh, oh, oh a change is coming
Oh, oh, oh woho

If you can’t see us, stand down
If you don’t believe in us, stand down
If our names do not belong
On the very tip of your tongue
Pack your bags and move along
Stand down, stand down, stand down

We are freedom, we are mercy, we are justice
On the tide of truth, we will rise and rise
‘til the greedy feed the needy, ‘til the clever become wise
‘til we find a way to teach, Mother Nature’s wayward son
To stop poisoning the well we draw our precious water from
And oh, oh, oh a change is coming

If you can’t see us, stand down
If you don’t believe in us, stand down
If our names do not belong
On the very tip of your tongue
Pack your bags and move along
Stand down, stand down, stand down
