"There She Stands" finale (anyone ever heard this?)

[WishesFan]

Hey guys.

I just found a track called ?There She Stands? finale (04:06). This sounds like some big finale from a fireworks show or maybe a stage show. The song is AMAZING! It?s by Michael W. Smith. I?ve heard the song before on the radio but not this version. It?s performed by the Disney chorus. It really is quite moving.

If anyone knows where this came from please drop me a line. I?m very interested. Thanks so much!

?THERE SHE STANDS? FINALE lyrics
-------------------------------------------------------
When the night seems to say
All hope is lost, gone away
But I know I'm not alone
By the light she stands.

There she waves Faithful friend
Shimmering stars westward wind
Show the way, carry me
To the place she stands.

Just when you think it might be over
Just when you think the fight is gone
Someone will risk his life to raise her
There she stands.

There she flies clear blue sky
Reminds us with red of those that died
Washed in white by the brave
In their strength she stands.

We've seen her flying torn and tattered
We've seen her stand the test of time
And through it all
We've seen her flying torn and tattered
We've seen her stand the test of time
And through it all the fools have fallen
There she stands!

By the dawn's early light
And through the fight
She stands!
She stands!

I don't know off the top of my head... I recall that right after September 11, Believe had a patriotic finale tacked on, but I don't remember if it was just the patriotic finale to one of the old Fantasy in the Sky incarnations.

According to information on the iTunes Music Store, the track was originally recorded for Michael W. Smith's 2002 album "Worship Again":

It was performed and re-recorded at the 2004 Republican National Convention:

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the info. However, this isn't the same recording as the one found on iTunes. I listened to the one from the Republican Convention and it's not the same. The harmonies on the one I have a much tighter. But thanks for the info! I LOVE the one from the Republican Convention. Thanks for telling me about it!

Years ago, Disney World used to put on a Fourth of July Spectacular show in the summer at the Magic Kingdom. It involved characters and Kids of the Kingdom-style singing and dancing. I believe the show was televised a few years with a parade and guest celebrities (like the Christmas parade is televised today.)

I don't know the specifics of the show but I wonder if this piece was used with that? or maybe the Fourth of July fireworks at the Magic Kingdom?
