Lyrics
[Verse 1]
June fourteenth on the sign
Bare feet on hot pavement
Hands up, hearts awake
We came to make our statement
Juneteenth in our bones
Freedom is not a slogan
We know what a badge can hide
We know what fear can open
[Pre-Chorus]
So we gather close
Shoulder to shoulder
No king over us
No step back, no colder
Say it out loud
Let the whole block hear
We are not the silence
We are right here
[Chorus]
No kings, no kings
We stand together
No kings, no kings
We bend, but never
Hands linked tight
We’ll outlast the fear
No kings, no kings
We are here (we are here)
[Verse 2]
They want us split in lanes
Want us tired and turned away
But the cook, the kid, the nurse
All got a voice today
From porches to the buses
From the park to the square
We bring our names like fire
We bring our people everywhere
[Pre-Chorus]
So we gather close
Shoulder to shoulder
No king over us
No step back, no colder
Say it out loud
Let the whole block hear
We are not the silence
We are right here
[Chorus]
No kings, no kings
We stand together
No kings, no kings
We bend, but never
Hands linked tight
We’ll outlast the fear
No kings, no kings
We are here (we are here)
[Bridge]
They can slam the doors
They can flood the air
But every hand that rises
Finds another hand there
Freedom is a relay
Pass it on, pass it on
When one voice shakes
A thousand sing along
[Final Chorus]
No kings, no kings
We stand together
No kings, no kings
We bend, but never
Hands linked tight
We’ll outlast the fear
No kings, no kings
We are here (we are here)
No kings, no kings
June fourteenth, we’re clear

Prompt
A No Kings protest rally on June 14th, on Juneteenth. I need a vibrant, catchy, serious rally song that doesn’t cross into hate, but calls for standing together in the face of fascist, authoritarian.
