Join me here,
Standing alone,
The lights shining down on me.
Bring me strength,
My feet planted on the ground,
Hoping you come find me,
Standing here alone.
So fall to my sides,
Each standing with pride,
And we’ll join together,
To form one.
So come down,
Let the lights bathe you,
As we fall into ranks.
Come plant your feet on the ground,
And let the world spin,
As we fall into our place,
Each with a reason.
Join me here,
Standing alone,
The lights shining down on me,
And we will form one.
Because this one is for us,
This is our time,
So come with me,
And we will make the world stop,
And watch what we can do.
Let’s show them,
What we are,
Because this one’s for us.

The author's comments:
So this is about marching band because we got screwed at halftime when the other band took our time. But after the game, we went out and marched our full drill and it was amazing because we all joined together and you can't understand how proud we were unless you are in something like marching band. It was just amazing.
