We're not afraid

I see the children in the street With empty hands and tired feet They dream of food and shelter too But promises are never true The system bends and breaks the weak The truth is hidden, lies we speak But every chain that holds us tight Will shatter in the morning light We've been silent for too long But now we're singing our own song The fire burns inside our chest We'll never settle for the rest Rise up, we're standing tall Together we can break the wall Rise up, we're not afraid The world is ours, the future made Rise up, we'll find a way Through every night and every day Rise up, we'll take a stand For justice in this broken land They build their towers, build their fame While we're still playing their cruel game The rich get richer, poor get less A system built on selfishness But we are many, they are few And our voices will break through No more silence, no more fear The change we need is drawing near We've been silent for too long But now we're singing our own song The fire burns inside our chest We'll never settle for the rest Rise up, we're standing tall Together we can break the wall Rise up, we're not afraid The world is ours, the future made Rise up, we'll find a way Through every night and every day Rise up, we'll take a stand For justice in this broken land
