We need no walls around our cities Or our country, or earth And there's no time for self-pity Cry the beloved land, we don't bow to demands Our raging hearts are reborn with voices Here's a plan, raise your voice To the sky, or in the subway Wherever freedom is denied Keep waking up, that's our cry Undiminished by any politician's lies Our heart's reverberation inside That's our revelation We don't hide from thugs with the bombs Or money, we've got songs And our weapon is no secret, it's love And it's armed So forgive my trespass and I'll forgive you And will walk through this life One by one, two by two Arm in arm, hand-in-hand As the wind shapes the sand It doesn't take a genius to see What's happening in this land Some say many more must die Well, Who are they Turn inside, make the dissent Sound the cry All the money in the world can't buy out father time Our grandmother the moon Turns sleeping seas to monsoons these perpetrators of violence and hate Are just dirt, and Mother Earth, she's a broom So let the temperatures rise It's a fire we want Our destinies call to us straight from the heart Contemplate your fate, play around in the sea Just get your heart prepared for what's meant to be Because some have declared war on you And on me, and our children learn from us What it means to be free Or be slaves Or how not to fear change It's time we stand up and put our hands on the reins Oppression and fear Can sneak right in your house Unseen as a mouse While we're stretched out beneath a blanket Binging Netflix on the couch Yes, it is a fight But not between the dark and light Please my friends do not fear the night The darkness is real It's in us Can't you feel that sweet, deep breath of night That's the key to the whole deal We all have the power To lift ourselves up Listen to Baudelaire, go get drunk On wine, or virtue Or the gospel of country, reggae, rock 'n' roll Soul, funk, because it's renaissance time And there's so much on the line You don't have to know every chapter and verse To get the sense we are not alone in this universe So give the power to the people who need it the most We are a family entrusted with our children The jewels of the host And nothing can stop us now Nothing can shake or break The strength of the words of this oath that we take To not stop fighting for nothin Not to push, the punch, or the shove This victory's ours because we beat back hate with love
