Rise Up, Don’t Back Down

Rise Up, Don’t Back Down

They say “be quiet, wait your turn,”
But silence only helps them burn.
We’ve seen the lies, we’ve paid the cost,
Now it’s time to raise the lost.

No more whispers in the dark,
We’re the flame, we’re the spark.

Rise up, don’t back down,
We’re the voice that shakes the crown.
Marching hearts, pounding loud —
We are the thunder, we are the crowd.
Rise up, don’t bow low,
We’ve got truth they’ll never know.
Every wall will crumble down —
Rise up, don’t back down!

They close the doors, they block the street,
But we’ve got numbers, they’ve got greed.
Our dreams don’t fit their cage of fear,
We’re the storm they’ll have to hear.

Every tear’s a battle cry,
Every shout lights up the sky!

Rise up, don’t back down,
We’re the voice that shakes the crown.
Marching hearts, pounding loud —
We are the thunder, we are the crowd.
Rise up, don’t bow low,
We’ve got truth they’ll never know.
Every wall will crumble down —
Rise up, don’t back down!

From the fields to city squares,
Freedom’s calling everywhere.
Hand in hand, we take the stand,
Power’s shifting to the people’s hand!

Rise up, don’t back down,
We’re the fire they can’t drown.
From the dirt to every town —
We rise, we rise, we won’t back down!
