| You can stand — You can fight
|
| Rather than hide all your life
|
| See that girl -- Watch what she
|
| Did as a desperate queen
|
| Mordecai was a nice fellow
|
| Looking after an orphan girl
|
| In the Persian town Susa
|
| Never did he think
|
| She’d come to meet the king
|
| Esther was a beauty, that’s right
|
| Nice and young and a cutie pie
|
| And the lady was Jewish
|
| And they were despised
|
| Their enemies had plans
|
| And then she’d get the chance
|
| To become a hand-picked queen
|
| From the streets — oh, it’s heavenly
|
| Handpicked queen
|
| She’ll be free from the tyranny
|
| Oh yeah
|
| You can stand — You can fight
|
| Rather than hide all your life
|
| See that girl -- Watch what she
|
| Did as a desperate queen
|
| Sure, it’s easy to turn and run
|
| Leave the work to another one
|
| Looking out for your brother
|
| When you are a Jew
|
| Sure is a brutal task
|
| But when you get the chance
|
| You ought to stand and be
|
| Unafraid of your destiny
|
| Esther — she’d
|
| Feel the heat from the enemy, oh yeah!
|
| You can stand — You can fight
|
| Rather than hide all your life
|
| See that girl -- Watch what she
|
| Did as a desperate queen
|
| Did as a desperate queen |
