[Intro]
In the alley’s echo, where a shadowed neon glows
We raise our voices, but the clock keeps moving slow
[Verse 1]
Hands held high, we’re tethered to the fear we know
We’re not breaking laws, just begging for a better show
[Pre-Chorus]
But the sirens write the gravity of the night
Turning quiet hearts to a crowded, beating light
[Chorus]
Stand down, stand tall, let the truth be seen
We walk the line between anger and the need for clean
Hands open wide, we breathe and choose our fate
We throw no stones, we hope for a safer state
[Verse 2]
Promises spoken in the cold, concrete blue
We crave a path where every voice can come through
[Pre-Chorus]
If mercy is the weapon, let it be our guide
Let empathy outshine fear that locks the ride
[Chorus]
Stand down, stand tall, let the truth be seen
We walk the line between anger and the need for clean
Hands open wide, we breathe and choose our fate
We throw no stones, we hope for a safer state
[Bridge]
Not afraid to rise, but careful with the rise
We sing for safety, justice, and wiser skies
[Chorus]
Stand down, stand tall, let the truth be seen
We walk the line between anger and the need for clean
Hands open wide, we breathe and choose our fate
We throw no stones, we hope for a safer state
[Outro]
If peace is the road, we walk it side by side
With courage in our chests and truth as our guide
