Even If No One Stands

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 2 months ago 1 min read

Verse 1

They laughed when I turned from the crowd

Said the road I chose was too narrow, too proud

But I heard a voice in the still of the night

Saying wrong is wrong, even dressed up in light

Verse 2

They danced in the fire, called it grace

But I saw the truth in a quiet place

And I won’t trade peace for a seat at the feast

If the table’s built on the backs of the least

Chorus

Wrong is wrong, even if everyone’s doing it

Right is right, even if no one stands

I’ll walk the line with my soul as my compass

Even if I’m walking with empty hands

Truth don’t bend for the sake of approval

And love don’t lie just to fit the plan

Wrong is wrong, even if everyone’s doing it

Right is right, even if no one stands

Verse 3

I’ve seen the silence that fear can buy

But I’d rather speak and be cast aside

For mercy lives where the brave hearts go

And justice blooms in the coldest snow

Bridge

Let the winds howl, let the shadows sneer

I’ll hold the flame when the path ain’t clear

For grace is not what the world defines

It’s choosing light when the cost is high

Final Chorus

Wrong is wrong, even if everyone’s doing it

Right is right, even if no one stands

I’ll walk the line with my soul as my compass

Even if I’m walking with empty hands

Truth don’t bend for the sake of approval

And love don’t lie just to fit the plan

Wrong is wrong, even if everyone’s doing it

Right is right, even if no one stands
