I saw the silence growing like a wall in the hall,
Heard the small voices fading while the loud ones told it all,
But the floor beneath us trembles when the truth begins to wake,
And a single string can carry all the courage we can take.
So raise your hands, not for trouble, but for the future we deserve.
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
Stand up, stand up, let the ground know we are here,
With a steady voice and fearless hearts, we turn the night to clear,
No chain can hold the ones who rise when the silence starts to bend,
Stand up, stand up, we will not break, we will not pretend.
[Verse 2]
[Verse 2]
We were taught to keep our heads down, let the rain decide our name,
Told that standing in the light would only end in shame,
But the scars across our memory are maps of where we stood,
And every broken promise feeds the fire in our blood.
One guitar, one truth, one heartbeat turning into flame.
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
Stand up, stand up, let the ground know we are here,
With a steady voice and fearless hearts, we turn the night to clear,
No chain can hold the ones who rise when the silence starts to bend,
Stand up, stand up, we will not break, we will not pretend.
[Outro]
[Outro]
So let that single guitar ring out into the streets tonight,
We are the calm before the storm, and we are the rising light
