Raise Up

There was a time, there was a kingdom They took our lives, they stole our freedom We heard our mothers cry, we saw our brothers die And it was all gone Back in that day, I still remember The way it felt, to hear surrender All of our fathers tried, to find a compromise But it was all gone All we had All we had to claim to our name was the blame or the bleeding All the scars They won’t fade away Raise Up! They’re never gonna hold us down Raise Up! Wont let nobody stop us now Spit out the pain, look me in the face And tell me what you’re fighting for Raise Up! They’re never gonna hold us down It’s such a shame, All of our hometown Went up in flames, our souls were burned down We heard our mothers cry, we saw our brothers die And it was all gone Back in that place, I still remember Promise we made, of no surrender We know our fathers tried, but there’s no compromising Til they’re all gone
