I won't close my eyes 
To the sufferers plight. 
In a world full of darkness 
I won't turn off my light. 

Our cries for justice are shots in the dark 
But our strength's in our bite 
And not in our bark 
It's time to stand 
And shout it out loud 
And the louder we scream 
The sweeter the sound. 

I won't close my eyes 
When I know that I'm right 
When I'm drowning in tears 
I won't turn off my light. 

We're shown no respect 
But that can't break our pride, 
When our backs to the wall 
We won't run and we won't hide 
It's time to stand, face the oncoming crowd 
because the louder we scream 
The sweeter the sound. 

I won't close my eyes 
When the future don't look bright 
Though the road seems too long 
I won't turn off my light 
In a world full of darkness, 
I won't turn off my light
