The Victory Song by Jordan Page Lyrics

Excitement builds on election day, results come pouring in
A landslide victory for the underdog, a proud and glorious win
And the people cheer between their tears
And call their rising son
To spread his might and shed his light
On darkness overcome

And the people cry from coast to coast
From sea to shining sea
But the night grows long and the victory song
Has lost its melody

Now the future found in the TV set is clear and strong and bright
Though the world collapses beneath our feet
They swear that all is right
Though brown men drown in their prison cells
And towers fall to dust
But no one questions the official word
In wicked men we trust

And the people cry from coast to coast
From sea to shining sea
But the night grows long and the victory song
Has lost its melody
I won’t stand in yesterday, I believe in the here and now
There’s a revolution coming all you have to do is look around
So rise above the fear and take my hand, you’re not alone
Keep holding on, keep holding on, and don’t ever let go

Now the razor wire, like wildfire, spreads fast across the land
And the laws they break are the lives they take, only because they can
Let the choirs sing, let the drummers drum
Let all who hear this know
We are marching on to the Victory Song
“Let my people go”

And the people cry from coast to coast
From sea to shining sea
But the night has gone and the victory song
Has found its melody

I won’t stand in yesterday, I believe in the here and now
There’s a revolution coming all you have to do is look around
So rise above the fear and take my hand, you’re not alone
Keep holding on, keep holding on, and don’t ever let go
