I have seen you beaten to bruises and bloodshed
I have heard you choking on your cries for help
Trudging through a life of fear and frustration
Every day you're hoping for a reason to be
Pinned down, fists to the body: "Please let me see, a brighter day!"
Aspirations aflame... (what is there left to believe?)
They will watch us shed the skin of opression, and break the chains of fear!
Stand tall, never kneel before them. Laugh in their face, as they try to
Destroy who you are
We will be beside you as you get up off the floor
And we will be beside you as you unleash the vow you swore...
UNLEASH THE YEARS OF SILENCE, LET GO OF THE BURNING POWER
Look up: never hide your face in shame. Stand up: this is a new beginning
Join me, we will never stand down!
Join me, we will never stand down!
Feel the rage, overcome, drown them in oceans:
Unleash the years of silence, embrace the need to k**
Pulverize those who have kept you down: a fist to the jaw of the opressor
We will conquer, with unity and pride!
We will conquer, with unity and pride!
And looking at these scars we will smile with that pride
Knowing we earned them from fighting for a place in life!
Come on!
We earned these scars with pride!
...Together we Stand...
...Together we Fight...
...Together we Stand...
...Now, WE ARE ONE!
NOW, WE ARE ONE!
Standing here today, giving all we have!
d**h or Glory
