It was back in '79
When we rode the mighty tide
It swept across the world
We came together

We never stood alone
Wherever we did roam
This legacy of rock
Would last forever, yeah

R: Show me your hands
   Show me your hands
   Raise up your hands
   Deliver me

Defenders of the faith
To you this vow we make
When our back's against the wall
We'll not surrender

You may be young or old
There's no difference at all
Just raise your glasses high
And sing our song

R: (2x)

It was back in '79
When we rode the mighty tide
The music will go on
And never die

R: (2x)
