This was actually sent to me by my fluffy friend Scarlett Duchess.. she says, "Well, I have this odd need to advertise my music taste to other people and there is this one James Keelaghan song that always reminds me of Clarity (proving that I need to get a life ^_^)

Anyhoo, it's called Hold Your Ground and its from the Album My Skies.  Hope yee liketh!"

An' I do. ^^

Somewhere inside my soul there is an echo of my youth
Some pithy little saying that contains a grain of truth
If patience is a virtue
Persistence is its mark
It's better to light a candle than stand and curse the dark
But if we stand together we might turn this world around
Hold your ground

In the corridors of power where our voice is seldom heard
The status quo is what they want, they can get it with a word
For us it takes a thousand voices
A million angry shouts
To notify the ship of state to turn its course about
But if we pull together we might turn this ship around
Hold your ground

Oh this world is changing
Spinning out is space and time
Oh it's rearranging
All the things you thought were yours and mine
You've got to hold your ground
Hold your ground

Sometimes it seems the motion is strictly retrograde
There are so many reversals of advances that you made
The things you said were changing
Have shuddered to a halt
The only view is forward when your back's against the wall
But if we stand together we might turn this world around
Hold your ground
You got to hold your ground
Hold your ground

It isn't for the faint of heart to bet when odds are long
And neither is it easy to be right in face of wrong
You must proceed from strength to strength
Although the road is rough
And sometimes human courage just isn't quite enough
But if we stand together we might turn this world around
Hold your ground
Oh this world is changing...

back--next
