Lyrics
Xerxes was a Persian king five hundred thousand strong
Sparta sent 300 hundred brave and true
Those Spartans knew with every breath
They were facing certain death
And raised their sails and ran before the wind.
Run Run before the wind
Remember one for all and all for one
When the battle's far from won
And the odds are slim to none
Raise your sails and run before the wind
General Jackson was a man of letters and of war
Stonewall was the name his soldiers knew
His calm demeanor served him well
And as they charged the gates of hell
They raised their sails and ran before the wind
Run Run before the wind
Remember one for all and all for one
When you're filled with fear & doubt
And time is running out
Raise your sails and run before the wind
I have not yet begun to fight,' cried John Paul Jones the sailor
Surrender is a word he did not know
He took the war to Britain's shore
And found the US Navy
He raised his sails and ran before the wind.
Run Run before the wind
Remember one for all and all for one
When you think it's all for naught
That victory can't be caught
Raise your sails and run before the wind
On 9/11, flight nine three a group of folks like you and me
Reached down and found the hero in us all
They knew for whom the bells would toll
And with a shout of "let's roll"
They raised their sails and ran before the wind
Run Run before the wind
Remember one for all and all for one
When you think you cannot win
Hey you better think again
Raise your sails and run before the wind
Run Run before the wind
Remember one for all and all for one
When the battle's not yet won
And the odds are slim to none
Raise your sails and run before the wind
