Lyrics
[Intro]
[Claps and stomps building
Voices murmuring]
They took our sleep
They took our names
They marked our doors
Like we were shame
[Verse 1]
Black coats at the gate before the dawn
Touch one child
And you’ve touched us all
We watched them drag our futures down the hall
Prayed and wept
Stayed small
Stayed small
[Chorus]
But we rise
We rise
We rise (hey!)
Bare hands
Hard eyes
No more cries
You will not take the children home
We draw the line in flesh and bone
We rise
We rise
We rise
Hear the claps
Hear the boots outside
You will not drag them out alone
We stand as one
We’re bringing them home
[Verse 2]
You filed your threats in tidy little rows
Spoke in rules
But every mother knows
Every paper cuts a deeper wound
Every siren steals another tune
[Chorus]
So we rise
We rise
We rise (oh!)
Bare hands
Hard eyes
No more lies
You will not take the children home
We draw the line in flesh and bone
We rise
We rise
We rise
Hear the claps
Hear the roar outside
You will not drag them out alone
We stand as one
We’re bringing them home
[Bridge]
Name by name
We call them back
Little shoes along the track
Every crib an empty throne
Every tear
A sharpened stone
Swear it now
In smoke and rain
Never feed that beast again (hey!)
[Chorus]
’Cause we rise
We rise
We rise
Bare hands
Hard eyes
Steel in our cries
You will not take the children home
We draw the line in flesh and bone
We rise
We rise
We rise
From the schoolyard to the countryside
You will not drag them out alone
We stand as one—
We’re bringing them home (bringing them home)
