The night feels heavy, the streets are cold
Whispers of fear in the stories they’ve told
We’ve been waiting for someone to light the flame
But no change comes if we stay the same
Children crying, women dying
While we’re hiding as if we can’t do a thing
Silence in the sorrow
We need to believe
I don’t wanna sit and die
I don’t wanna end my life
Will you stand by my side?
Will you fight with me?
They keep trying to push us down
But baby we still come around
Cause we’re not backing down
So will you fight with me?
They think their power will break our will
But our hearts are louder, they can’t stand still
Every step we take, every wall we break
Is one more move that they can’t take
Children crying, women dying
While we’re hiding as if we can’t do a thing
Silence in the sorrow
We need to believe
I don’t wanna sit and die
I don’t wanna end my life
Will you stand by my side?
Will you fight with me?
They keep trying to push us down
But baby we still come around
Cause we’re not backing down
So will you fight with me?
We are the fire they can’t burn out
We are the voice they can’t turn down
Hand in hand, we’ll make them see
That nothing’s stronger than you and me
I don’t wanna sit and die
I don’t wanna end my life
Will you stand by my side?
Will you fight with me?
They keep trying to push us down
But baby we still come around
Cause we’re not backing down
So will you fight with me?
