Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We are the waking
You built a wall of fear
You turn the neighbor
Into an enemy near
You close the classroom
You twist the honest word
But we remember
Everything we heard
[Chorus]
We are the waking
We are the line you crossed
We are the pages
You tried to tear and toss
We are the questions
You cannot shut away
We are the waking
We are the breaking of your day
[Verse 2]
You ban the story
You paint the past in gray
You claw for power
And call it saving the day
You point at strangers
Say they’re the ones to blame
But we see clearly
We call you by your name
[Chorus]
We are the waking
We are the line you crossed
We are the pages
You tried to tear and toss
We are the questions
You cannot shut away
We are the waking
We are the breaking of your day
[Bridge]
We learned from elders
Who stood where we stand now
They faced the sirens
They would not learn to bow
So when you thunder
And stamp your borrowed crown
We hold each other
And we will hold our ground (hey!)
[Chorus]
We are the waking
We are the line you crossed
We are the pages
You tried to tear and toss
We are the questions
You cannot shut away
We are the waking
We are the breaking of your day
[Chorus]
We are the waking
We are the ones who stay
Hands on each other
When you would drag us away
We are the future
You cannot cage or sway
We are the waking
We are the breaking of your day

Style
Strident protest anthem with a familiar, singable mid-tempo melody; male and female vocals in unison on verses, big gang-chant chorus. Acoustic guitar and warm piano anchor the harmony, kick and floor toms build a march feel, bass glues it together. Choruses swell with layered harmonies and shout-backs, last chorus modulates up a half-step for lift; subtle organ pads and a simple melodic lead line mirror the topline.

An updated version of “We Are The Children”, except for today’s political climate of authoritarian fascism. Use the melody of “we are the children” if possible. If not, only change a note or two.
