Stand up, stand tall
Even when the tears fall
Push on, push through
Find a way to break loose
From the darkness from the chains
Meet that devil face to face
Let the world know your name
Warrior
Well my daddy was the kind of man
Who could leave footprints in the sand
He said keep the weakness buried deep within
Show them all that tough outer skin
Cry in the shadows, smile in the sun
Live by your word
Die by your gun
If your mind is strong and your heart is right
There's no dream that's out of sight
Stand up, stand tall
Even when the tears fall
Push on, push through
Find a way to break loose
From the darkness from the chains
Meet that devil face to face
Let the world know your name
Warrior
He raised me up and he raised me right
To work through my pain, be no bark and all bite
He said don't talk, just walk, no wrong, it's all right
There's no grey in between, it's all black or all white
With only one arm, he slaved every day
To give us his all, it was the only way
Sometimes I visit my past, to live in those days
To find my inner strength, and hear him say
Stand up, stand tall
Even when the tears fall
Push on, push through
Find a way to break loose
From the darkness from the chains
Meet that devil face to face
Let the world know your name
Warrior
