All Hands On Deck
(Springfield/Bissonette)
Wake me up red
white blue reveille
Raise me from this
night
Say five words that
lift me from my knees
Forward to the good
fight
Rise up all you
golden slumbering
With the call to
arms
Will your children
wake up wondering?
How we came to
harm?
Will this big star
spangled sky’s past victories
Shield us from the
fight?
And the distant
sounds of foreign enemies
Marching in the
moonlight
From the mountains
to the fertile plains
With the pulse of
lightning in our veins
Hallelujah, strike
the band in hopes we will survive this shipwreck
Call all hands on
deck
No one comes to
steal our families
Not here on our
watch
Knowing that the
dawn of liberty
Wasn’t gates and
locks
But with shouts of
freedom call the cavalry ringing through the halls
While the purple
mountains in their majesty
Steal us so we
won’t fall
From the mountains
to the fertile plains
With the pulse of
lightning in our veins
Hallelujah, strike
the band in hopes we will survive this shipwreck
Call all hands on
deck
I see my father’s
spirit in my eyes
I pray I won’t run
from the battle cries
Hail and thunder,
danger comes with lies
Torn asunder in the
bursting skies
Hallelujah, strike
the band with cries we will survive this shipwreck
Sing, all hands on
deck
