In this marching song from The New Moon, Robert (a French nobleman disguised as a common worker because of his revolutionary sympathies) exhorts the other men to join him in rebelling against the monarchy.
(Verse)
You
Who have dreams
If you act
They will come true
To
Turn your dreams
To a fact
Is up to you
If you have the soul and the spirit
Never fear, it
Will see you through
Hearts may inspire
Other hearts with their fire
For the strong obey
When a strong man shows them the way
(Chorus)
Give me some men
Who are stout-hearted men
Who will fight
For the rights
They adore
Start me with ten
Who are stout-hearted men
And I'll soon give you ten
Thousand more
.
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
Stout Hearted Men was written by Sigmund Romberg & Oscar Hammerstein II.
