I'm really excited about this song. I wrote "Stand For What's Right" after our experience working in the refugee camps in Greece and Turkiye. The music video was filmed in Fernandina Beach, FL. Which is where my family and I currently live. The music video drops next Friday. I'll share more about the video next week.
"Stand For What's Right" is now available everywhere you stream music. Take care everyone, Brian #SongsInTheKeyOfFreedom STAND FOR WHAT'S RIGHT [Lyrics] [Verse 1] Yeah there's something deep down that I need to say It's more than a couple of words written on a loose leaf page I know it might sound crazy but Know that it's true The purpose of my life, yeah my purpose is you And I don't know how else to say it, I Sure as hell can't fake it But I dissent from the pearl plated palace when the church became complacent Putting politics above Unconditional Love, read about the Prince of Peace Turn the other cheek, but I missed the part about guns Gotta crisis on our hands Occupation of foreign lands Seventy million people fled their homes We got blood upon our hands When they washed upon our border The People approved a new world order Since we live in fear, we said you can't come here You're one of the 'others', so we take more than we need Justify the homeless with our greed What made the Good Samaritan different from the Levite and the Priest? Worshipping a Palestinian Jew Born a refugee too Honor the Geneva Conventions that were signed in 1952 [Chorus] There's a storm that's blowing up on calvary Like a stampede of horses destined to be free Remember everything that you've been shown Stand for what's right even if you stand alone There's a storm that's blowing up on calvary Like a stampede of horses destined to be free Remember everything that you've been shown Stand for what's right even if you stand alone [Verse 2] Can you hear the train a coming up around the bend It's calling out my name when it called a couple of friends Ambiguity is subtle when you cross-examine your bubble And when you take to the streets and you move your feets You're about to get into trouble, it can change your rosy colored lens How you view what's real and pretend Cost you're community and you're relationships with your family and your friends Ask forgiveness for their sin And when you cannot make amends If you sing about the struggle, it'll have an impact on your ends Cause the more we sweat in peace, the less we bleed in war My dad was seventeen numbers away from getting drafted into the war That put's a thing or two in perspective when your blood line's affected If he had gone to Vietnam, I might never ever been born So keep looking to the sky giving thanks for the breath and life, all The memories you have collected that make you feel alive And when it finally comes your time, if you're lucky to say goodbye The only thing that lives on is the Love you leave behind [Chorus] There's a storm that's blowing up on calvary Like a stampede of horses destined to be free Remember everything that you've been shown Stand for what's right even if you stand alone There's a storm that's blowing up on calvary Like a stampede of horses destined to be free Remember everything that you've been shown Stand for what's right even if you stand alone NEW MUSIC RELEASE DAY
