Stand Up Now

Stand Up Now

The city’s loud with marching feet,
Voices rising in the street.
We’ve been silent far too long,
Now we’re thunder, now we’re strong.

No more whispers, no more chains,
Justice calling out our names.

Stand up now, raise your voice,
We are the people, we are the choice.
Hands together, hearts unbowed,
Change is coming, hear it loud.
Stand up now, don’t back down,
Lift your fire, take this ground.
We’re the ones who’ll show them how —
Freedom lives when we stand up now.

Tear gas clouds and flashing lights,
Won’t put out our burning rights.
Every heart, a beating drum,
We won’t stop till change has come.

From the ashes, hope remains,
Our voices echo through the pain.

Stand up now, raise your voice,
We are the people, we are the choice.
Hands together, hearts unbowed,
Change is coming, hear it loud.
Stand up now, don’t back down,
Lift your fire, take this ground.
We’re the ones who’ll show them how —
Freedom lives when we stand up now.

We’re the storm they can’t contain,
Every shout will break the chain.
Power to the ones unheard,
Every voice becomes a word.

Stand up now, take your place,
Fear can’t win this human race.
Raise your signs, the world will see,
We’re the sound of liberty.
Stand up now, don’t back down,
Lift your fire, take this ground.
From the street to every vow —
The world will change, we’ll stand up now.
