We shout in hope that somebody will listen, until we're out of breath, and on our knees
We are tired of waiting
We are fighting to be free
We rise, we rise, we rise
We never had a fighting chance
This is our time to show them what we can do
We rise, we rise, we rise
But we're chained where we stand
We're fighting to be free
To whom do we owe this lie?
To whom must we sell ourselves?
When their reign of terror ends, nobody will stop to save them
Their downfall will come, nobody will stop to save them
Take a step back from me, don't come any closer
Oh, I won't quit 'til it's over
So take it as you may, I'm going to get out of here someday
It's us versus them, we will not be your slaves anymore
We disobey
Nobody will stop to save them
Take a step back from me, don't come any closer
Oh, I won't quit 'til it's over
So take it as you may, I'm going to get out of here someday
You have left us helpless, we will leave you breathless
