Love Grows On The White Oak Tree

I remember sitting in my Meemaw's kitchen
She'd tell me stories 'bout the olden days
How they marched and prayed for rights we take for granted
"Child, these blessings came with a fight and by God's grace."

So stand your ground, don't give up, keep the faith
(Stand your ground)
Freedom ain't just another word you say
(Stand your ground)
It was bought with blood, sweat and tears
(Yes it was)
Stand your ground, don't give way to fear

Last Sunday morning I tried to speak my mind
Felt the walls closing in around my faith
They tried to silence what I knew was right
That's when I heard my Meemaw say

She said "Don't give up, keep the faith!
Freedom ain't just another word you say
It's something you live each and every day
Don't give up, keep the faith."

So stand your ground, don't give up, keep the faith
(Stand your ground)
Freedom ain't just another word you say
(Stand your ground)
It was bought with blood, sweat and tears
(Yes it was)
Stand your ground, don't give way to fear

Now I'm teaching my own kids what she taught me
That liberty requires a watchful eye
When someone tries to take your voice away
You stand up tall and proudly testify

Freedom to speak (Freedom to speak)
Freedom to pray (Freedom to pray)
Freedom to gather (Freedom to gather)
In the light of day (In the light of day)
Freedom to protect (Freedom to protect)
What we hold dear (What we hold dear)
Stand your ground (Stand your ground)
Don't give way to fear

So stand your ground, don't give up, keep the faith
(Stand your ground)
Freedom ain't just another word you say
(Stand your ground)
It was bought with blood, sweat and tears
(Yes it was)
Stand your ground, don't give way to fear

She said "Don't give up, keep the faith!
Freedom ain't just another word you say
It's something you live each and every day"
Don't give up, keep the faith."
