[Verse 1]
In the silence, when the shadows stretch so long,
Felt the burden on my back, where did I go wrong?
Heavy weather, trying hard to keep the faith in sight,
But even embers hold a promise of a coming light.
The cold concrete beneath the feet of doubt and fear,
A labyrinth of worry whispered year after year.
We search for solace in the fading, distant star,
Unsure if where we're headed is truly where we are.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Hear the rhythm in the rain, a steady, driving sound,
Know the strength is not outside, it's where we stand on solid ground.
The echo of a choice made, a truth that must be faced,
Every single moment cannot simply be erased.
[Chorus 1]
This is the Anthem, the light we carry high!
A Parallel Harmony ringing 'neath the open sky!
From the deepest part of the night, we rise, we soar, we climb!
Close-knit and strong together, transcending space and time!
The pulse of freedom beating, a fire that won't cease,
A testament to waking, a monumental peace.
Part II: Solidarity and History
[Verse 2]
Look around, see the faces mirroring the strain,
Knowing that the struggle is a universal rain.
We stood apart too long, believing we were lone,
But a million fractured pieces can rebuild a throne.
The stories of the elders, seeds planted in the dust,
Their unwavering courage, their incredible trust.
We are the inheritors of battles fought and won,
Before our morning broke, beneath a different sun.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
The foundations laid in sacrifice, we cannot let them crack,
There is no looking backwards, we're taking the forward track.
Every tear a river, flowing to the sea of grace,
Every heart in union finds its rightful, destined place.
(Chorus )
This is the Anthem, the light we carry high!
A Parallel Harmony ringing 'neath the open sky!
From the deepest part of the night, we rise, we soar, we climb!
Close-knit and strong together, transcending space and time!
The pulse of freedom beating, a fire that won't cease,
A testament to waking, a monumental peace.
[Post-Chorus]
We carry the light! We carry the sound!
All over the world, standing on holy ground!
Part III: The Ascent and Declaration
[Verse 3]
Took the lesson, turned the dust into a fertile ground,
Every struggle, every whisper, a truth we finally found.
We are conductors of the current, builders of the road,
Shedding every vestige of the suffocating load.
No more hiding from the storm, we stand right in the breeze,
Shouting freedom through the tallest, ancient trees.
The victory is woven into the very fabric of our stride,
With nothing left to govern but the truth deep down inside.
(Bridge 1) (The Preacher's Call)
Can you feel the rhythm of redemption in the air?
The moment that we choose to throw away despair!
It isn't found in silver, or any fleeting name,
It’s in the holy power of the shared, eternal flame!
Lift your voice, declare the end of all the chains,
The sun is in your hands now, washing out the stains!
(Chorus 3]
This is the Anthem, the light we carry high
