drives inside us fighting
with the dead past we've given it all away
we've got something that reaches through distress
holds us together a will for a better way
we've got something that stands for equality
fighting with the dead past we've given it all away
we've got something that reaches
through distress holds us together a will for a better way we've got something that stands for equality
the organized process which remains to make a change
to break down to get up to learn this
to teach this to lift up life to give back
to fight for to die with life life burning cleansing a nation
is gone a promise given as part of a plan
no more silence resist we must rise no more silence
resist we must rise we'll scar as one
we'll stand as one we'll scar as
one we'll stand as one fighting with the dead past
we've given it all away we've got something
that reaches through distress holds us together
a will for a better way we've got something
that stands for equality to get up to learn this
to teach this to lift up life to give back
to fight for to die with life
we'll stand stand as one scar as one stand as one life
