Honor to Us All - Harry Gregson-Williams, London Session Orchestra, The Bach Choir, Fretwork & Choir of The Kings Consort

This is what you give me to work with Well honey, I've seen worse We're going to turn this sow's ear into a silk purse We'll have you washed and dried Primped and polished till you glow with pride Trust my recipe for instant bride You'll bring honor to us all Wait and see, when we're through Boys will gladly go to war for you With good fortune (and a great hairdo) You'll bring honor to us all A girl can bring her family Great honor in one way By striking a good match And this could be that day Men want girls with good taste Calm, obedient, who work fast paced With good breeding and a tiny waist You'll bring honor to us all We all must serve our Emperor Who guards us from the Huns A man by bearing arms A girl by bearing sons When we're through You can't fail Like a lotus blossom soft and pale How could any fellow say "no sale" You'll bring honor to us all There, you're ready Not yet An apple for serenity A pendant for balance Beads of jade for beauty You must proudly show it Now add a cricket, just for luck And even you can't blow it Ancestors, hear my plea Help me not to make a fool of me And to not uproot my family tree Keep my father standing tall Scarier than the undertaker We are meeting our matchmaker Destiny, guard our girls And our future as it fast unfurls Please look kindly on these cultured pearls Each a perfect porcelain doll Please bring honor to us- Please bring honor to us- Please bring honor to us- Please bring honor to us- Please bring honor to us all!

We have the passion of the unbroken And our souls we will not sell You can beat us down but when we come around We'll damn you all to hell Waiting for a sign, I guess I missed it on the way I tried to walk the line but it's more than I could take I get so tired of waiting, your signal's fading out You're on the outside before you even know you're out of place I've had enough and your time is up So give me something, that one thing real And I'll say yeah, 'cause I've been going out of my head again Just waiting for a lifeline Let me see you hold up your salute to the sky While you sing it out, bleeding out your lungs 'til you die Give it to me, give 'til you ain't got anymore 'Cause I need it to believe it, that you got any soul Give it to me, give 'til you ain't got anymore Pick your heart off the floor and scream it out God save us all Given up the grudge, said all that I had to say Show me how to judge and I'll find another way I don't know how to fake it, I think I'm breaking down Under the pressure, before you know it, something's gotta give I've had enough and your time is up So give me something, that one thing real And I'll say yeah, 'cause I've been going out of my head again Just waiting for a lifeline Let me see you hold up your salute to the sky While you sing it out, bleeding out your lungs 'til you die Give it to me, give 'til you ain't got anymore 'Cause I need it to believe it, that you got any soul Give it to me, give 'til you ain't got anymore Pick your heart off the floor and scream it out God save us all God save us all We have the passion of the unbroken And our souls we will not sell You can beat us down but when we come around We'll damn you all to hell Let me see you hold up your salute to the sky While you sing it out, bleeding out your lungs 'til you die Give it to me, give 'til you ain't got anymore 'Cause I need it to believe it, that you got any soul Give it to me, give 'til you ain't got anymore Pick your heart off the floor and scream it out God save us all Let me see you hold up your salute to the sky While you sing it out, bleeding out your lungs 'til you die God save us all Let me see you hold up your salute to the sky While you sing it out, bleeding out your lungs 'til you die God save us all

You've changed a goddamn thing Hold your head up high When the hardest times come We're heading straight to the fight Believe in yourself Let the hell out of the door Honor is among us Honor is all we know The night has come We couldn't no longer see Better days are around the corner for you and me Receive the horizon Down there's a golden glow Honor is among us Honor is all we know It takes a courage to make it in this land So don't forget to forgive every man And prosperity about this river, you know, it will forever flow Honor is among us Honor is all we know
