I never sleep, this pressure hurts my head
The thoughts of feeling like we'll never win
I close my eyes but I'm awake thinking
(Will we rise, will we rise, will we rise?)
Or will we sink again?
Retrace the steps that ever led to this
It always starts with broken promises
My eyes are red but I'm awake thinking
(Now's the time, now's the time, now's the time)
We'll never sink again
You can't pretend you're not a witness
It's time to let them know we're in control
We'll last if we keep marching forward
So it's your time to stand up
We will sing this til they hear us, no matter what they say
We will rise up til they fear us, we're never looking back
We stand together, with strength in numbers
Side by side, we are a storm that they can't control
We will sing this til they hear us, we're never looking back
In many years will they still be the same?
Or will our generation change the way?
The world around us seems to operate
(With the pain, with the pain) and the suffering
You can't pretend you're not a witness
It's time to let them know we're in control
We'll last if we keep marching forward
Stand up, because it's up to us
We will sing this til they hear us, no matter what they say
We will rise up til they fear us, we're never looking back
We stand together, with strength in numbers
Side by side, we are a storm that they can't control
We will sing this til they hear us, we're never looking back
And when the dust starts to fade away
The storm has passed, will it be the same?
Let's just hope for now they change their minds
Once they hear us sing, once they hear us sing
We will sing this til they hear us, no matter what they say
We will rise up til they fear us, we're never looking back
We stand together, with strength in numbers
Side by side, we are a storm that they can't control
We will sing this til they hear us, we're never looking back
