We Shall Rise

Protests, people in the streets Standing up for what is true and right Riots, instigated by police But we will not go down without a fight A social contract torn apart by distrust Fueled by watching broken families grieve A shattered pact reviled with disgust We will rise up for what we believe The day will dawn The time will come When we stand tall When we have won So hold your fists Up to the skies Stand your ground And we shall rise Power, it belongs to the people Scream loud for those on high to hear Resist, their policies of evil We're the force that they will come to fear Our darkest hour, the reckoning is here Now we must rise and stand for what is true To those in power, tumble in your fear We are strong and we're coming for you The day will dawn The time will come When we stand tall When we have won So hold your fists Up to the skies Stand your ground And we shall rise
