Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Through the dark and through the hunger
Through the night and through the fear
Through the fight and years of hardship
Through the storms and through the tears
[Verse 2]
And although your feet are weary
And although your soul is worn
And although they'll try to break you
And although you'll feel alone
We will always stand together
In the dark, right through the storm
We will stand shoulder to shoulder
To keep us warm
[Verse 3]
And the stars look down on the mean and hungry
And the stars look down and show the way
And the stars look down and we'll stand together
To see a day
When the stars look down and know our history
When the stars look down upon our past
And the stars look down and see a future bright at last
When we'll stand as one
Beneath the sun
[Verse 4]
And though our hands are bruised and bleeding
And wer lungs are full with dust
And wer hearts are near to breaking
We will never forgo the trust
[Verse 5]
We will fight through pain and hunger
Every arrow, every knife
We will never give the hope up
Of a proud and honest life
[Verse 6]
So we will always stand together
Through the frost, the hail, the snow
The stars are our redemption
And so we know
[Verse 7]
We're out!
[Verse 8]
The stars look down when we're abandoned
Look down in the heart of night
[Verse 9]
And the stars look down and give us vision
To see the light
[Verse 10]
The stars look down upon our struggle
The stars look down and know the past
The stars look down and see a future bright at last
When we'll stand as one
Beneath the sun
[Verse 11]
All out together, all out as one
All out for victory till we've won
All out together, all out as one
All out for victory, all out till we've won
[Verse 12]
Billy, do you know why they're on strike, like?
[Verse 13]
It's to do with Maggie Thatcher, innit?
[Verse 14]
Why, what's she done, like?
[Verse 15]
Fooked if I know
[Verse 16]
Eh, see ya at boxing?
[Verse 17]
Yeah
[Verse 18]
See ya, Billy
[Verse 19]
See ya, Michael
[Verse 20]
Take me up and hold me gently
Raise me up and hold me high
Through the nights under darkness
Will come a day when we will fly
And although we've been rejected
And although we've been outcast
We will find a new tomorrow
When we come to rest at last
[Verse 21]
And we will stand there proudly
And we will never walk alone
And we will be returned
Back to our home
[Verse 22]
And the stars look down at their reflection
And the stars look down, and there's a light
When the stars look down, they'll see the justice
And the right
And the stars look down and see the struggle
And the stars look down and know the pain
And the stars will lead to where light shines again
When we'll stand as one
Beneath the sun
One
Beneath the sun
[Verse 23]
When we stand as one
All out together
When we stand as one
All out as one
When we stand as one
All out for victory
When we stand as one
Till we've won
[Verse 24]
When we stand as one
All out together
When we stand as one
All out as one
When we stand as one
All out for victory
When we stand as one
Till we've won
[Verse 25]
When we stand as one
All out together
When we stand as one
All out as one
When we stand as one
All out for victory
All out till we've won
Written by: Elton John, Lee Hall
