Původní sestava se...
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
[chorus]
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
[chorus]
[chorus]
It was back in ‘79
When we rode the mighty tide
The music will go on
And never die
[chorus]
