Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We came in salt and storm
With the tide at our heel
Hands on the hemp and oak
Hard as the ship's own keel
The land knew our names
Long before any crown
The stars marked the path
When the walls came down
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that old drum call
From the mountain and the sea
It says stand up tall
You were born to be free
[Chorus]
God gave these rights
No man can take them
God gave these rights
No chain can break them
Stand, stand, stand
For the breath in your chest
God gave these rights
And we guard the rest
[Verse 2]
From the river to the road
From the field to the flame
Each child comes in
With a holy name
Not bought by a board
Not lent by a throne
These hands, this voice
This life, my own
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that old drum call
Like a thunder under sea
It says stand up tall
You were born to be free
[Chorus]
God gave these rights
No man can take them
God gave these rights
No chain can break them
Stand, stand, stand
For the breath in your chest
God gave these rights
And we guard the rest
[Bridge]
When the dark tries to count us
And the fear starts to grow
We answer together
With a yes and a no
Yes to the living
No to the cage
Yes to the dawn song
Burning off rage
[Final Chorus]
God gave these rights
No man can take them
God gave these rights
No chain can break them
Stand, stand, stand
For the breath in your chest
God gave these rights
And we guard the rest
