Hands Up for Change

Hands Up for Change

They say “be quiet, know your place,”
But we’re the fire they can’t erase.
We’ve had enough of empty lies,
It’s time for truth to claim the skies.

Every heart begins to drum,
Every voice says, “Here we come!”

Hands up for change, we won’t stand still,
Our voices rise, our hearts are steel.
No more waiting, no more chains,
We’ll wash this world in justice’s rain.
Hands up for change, we take our stand,
Power’s shifting to our hands.
Every street, every stage —
Hands up high for change!

They’ve ruled too long with fear and gold,
But our tomorrow won’t be sold.
From city lights to fields afar,
We’ll show them who we truly are.

We are thunder in the crowd,
And we are rising, fierce and proud.

Hands up for change, we won’t stand still,
Our voices rise, our hearts are steel.
No more waiting, no more chains,
We’ll wash this world in justice’s rain.
Hands up for change, we take our stand,
Power’s shifting to our hands.
Every street, every stage —
Hands up high for change!

Let the drums roll, let the crowd roar,
We’ve been silent — not anymore.
Truth is the anthem we proclaim,
Freedom’s not a whispered name.

Hands up for change, raise them high,
Watch the old world say goodbye.
We are many, we are flame,
We’ll never bow to fear again.
Hands up for change, this is our time,
A new dawn in every line.
Every soul, every name —
Hands up high for change!
