lyrics

Thunderhead above the prairie
The streets are silent in the town
A baited trap for the unwary
A loaded shotgun in my lap, my band all around

I was forewarned of your arrival
I saw the signs along the trail
But now I’ll fight for our survival
My people can’t afford to have me fail

Stand and deliver your intention
You’ve been preparing for this day since I don’t know when
The time is past for your redemption
The die is cast
You can’t escape the fate that you made
Stand and deliver

You must have known from the beginning
Exactly where this path would go
You’ve placed a bet with all your winnings
The cards are dealt; it’s gonna be one hell of a show

Stand and deliver your intention
You’ve been preparing for this day since I don’t know when
The time is past for your redemption
The die is cast
You can’t escape the fate that you made
Stand and deliver

My neighbors form by me; you bring a storm that we
Will surely weather
You will not break us down; you will not take this town
We stand together

These roles in life are thrust upon us
With me the ground, and you the mask
We must accept them if we’re honest
And if I die, I thank the Lord for setting my task

When I was young, I asked my Papa
What does it take to be a man?
He said, “you get to pick your battles
But when the time has come to face your fate, you must stand”

Stand and deliver your intention
You’ve been preparing for this day since I don’t know when
The time is past for your redemption
The die is cast
You can’t escape the fate that you made
Stand and deliver
