The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
You have dreams
If you act, they will come true
To turn your dreams to a fact
It’s up to you
If you have the soul and the spirit
Never fear it, you’ll see it through
Hearts can inspire other hearts with their fire
For the strong obey
When a strong man shows them the way
Refrain
Give me some men who are stout hearted men
Who will fight for the right they adore
Start me with ten, who are stout hearted men
And I’ll soon give you ten thousand more
Oh! shoulder to shoulder
And bolder and bolder they grow
As they go to the fore
Then there’s nothing in the world
Can halt or mar a plan
When stout hearted men
Can stick together man to man
