The Resistance

I am a nation, I am a million faces

Formed together, made for elevation

I am a soldier, I won't surrender

Faith is like a fire that never burns to embers

(Who's gonna stand up, who's gonna fight?)

The voice of the unheard

(Who's gonna break these chains and lies?)

Love is the answer

I gotta speak it, believe it, that's how I feel inside

I, I, can't, can't sit here quiet

You can take my heart, you can take my breath

When you pry it from my cold, dead chest

This is how we rise up

Heavy as a hurricane, louder than a freight train

This is how we rise up

Heart is beating faster, feels like thunder

Magic, static, call me a fanatic

It's our world, they can never have it

This is how we rise up

It's our resistance, you can't resist us

Hey can you hear me? Hey, are you listening?

Sleeping in the shadows, could be making history

Walk through the fire, walk on the water

Used to be a slave, but now you are a conqueror

They can take my heart, they can take my breath

When they pry it from my cold, dead chest

This is how we rise up

Heavy as a hurricane, louder than a freight train

This is how we rise up

Heart is beating faster, feels like thunder

Magic, static, call me a fanatic

It's our world, they can never have it

This is how we rise up

It's our resistance, you can't resist us

Rising up, up, up, up, up

We're rising up, up, up, up, up

The voice of the unheard

Rising up, up, up, up, up

We're rising up, up, up, up, up

Love is the answer

Rising up, up, up, up, up

We're rising up, up, up, up, up

Love is the answer

This is how we rise up

It's our resistance, you can't resist us

This is how we rise up

Heavy as a hurricane, louder than a freight train

This is how we rise up

Heart is beating faster, feels like thunder

Magic, static, call me a fanatic

It's our world, they can never have it

This is how we rise up

It's our resistance, you can't resist us
