Are you solid? 
Are you solid as a rock?
Have you a strong foundation 
Or can your soul be bought 
It ain't true that 
Everybody's got a price 
I sing this song for everyone 
Who stands up for their rights

Every brother is a star 
Every sister is a star 
Every brother is a star 
Every sister is a star 

Sister Rosa, Malcolm X, and Dr king
Showed we got power, showed the changes we could bring
To change society, you have got to change the law 
Their bodies may be gone but their spirits still live on 

Every brother is a star
Every sister is a star 
Every brother is a star 
Every sister is a star

Rebels souls!
For the dreamers, rebels souls and future days
Be brave and strong, keep keeping on, 
be conscious in the chaos 
Queen of England, there's no greater anarchist 
One mans freedom fighter is another's terrorist 

Every brother is a star
Every sister is a star 
Every brother is a star 
Every sister is a star
Every brother is a star 
Every sister is a star
Every brother is a star 
Every sister is a star
