TO STAND AS ONE
By David Snyder

V1

And when the fighting is silenced
And the thunder is gone
I will lie in your arms
And we will be one
Just the sound of your breathing
Well let me know we've survived
And then we will cross over
To the other side

Ch

OH we can do so much better than this
We can hold one another in a heavenly kiss
And we can sing the songs of joy
That we have left unsung
If we could only learn
To stand as one

V2

On the banks of a river
I will brush back your hair
And put a kiss on your lips
And forget we are here
Though we walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death
Our love will stand by us
So I say we are blessed

CH

Cause we can do so much better than this
We can hold one another in a heavenly kiss
And we can sing the songs of joy
That we have left unsung
If we could only learn
To
stand as one

CH2

We could hold one another
We could love one another
We could undo every evil
that has ever been done
We could trust one another
We could forgive one another
If we could only learn to stand as one
If we could only learn to stand as one

TO STAND AS ONE

A Walking Country Song
By David Snyder

V1

Throwin’ chairs off of a Nashville roof
Cause I’m drinkin’ little 100 proof
You know I’m grinning in a baseball cap
I wear it backwards cause you like it like that
Cause I ain’t classy but it’s how I roll
I’m the one they never could control


CH

Ah girl I’m gonna make it
Take every heart and break it
Just as long as they can take it, I’m stayin’ strong
Cause girl I was born a walking country song

V2

Got a mullet in my mugshot yo
I’ll post some bail and then I’ll skip parole
I’m wearing handcuffs but I’m breaking  loose
Then I’m gonna love you while I’m wearing my boots
Sometimes it seems like I can do no wrong
No matter what I do they always sing along

CH

Ah girl I’m gonna make it
Take every heart and break it
Just as long as they can take it, I’m stayin’ strong
Cause girl I was born a walking country song


Bridge

Yeah I drink too much
Yeah I talk too much
But girl you’re so damn smokin’
That you’re hot to the touch

CH

Ah girl I’m gonna make it
Take every heart and break it
Just as long as they can take it, I’m stayin’ strong
Cause girl I was born a walking country song


V3

I was caught buck naked but I'm not in jail
I was caught buck naked and I'm raising hell
And I was born spoiled rotten
If you can't tell

CH

Ah girl I’m gonna make it
Take every heart and break it
Just as long as they can take it, I’m stayin’ strong
Cause girl I was born a walking country song

Outro

And I can write a hit
Write it like this
And every song sounds the same
But I’m staying strong
Cause girl I was born a walking country song
Cause girl I was born a walking country song
Cause girl I was born a walking country song
