[Intro] I won’t pretend the sky is blue today I’ll tell you how my bones feel when I pray [Verse 1] Strangers in a crowded street, I hear the same old lies Promises folded like cheap confetti in the sunrise Chorus of flag-waving shadows, I see through the glare I’m counting wounds and quiet truths that still fall on deaf ears there [Pre-Chorus] But I won’t stay silent in the echo of the square I’ll whisper something honest: I deserve to breathe clean air [Chorus] I hate the lie that claimed my land, I’m tired of the blame I bound my heart to a different flame From streets to dreams, I won’t bow to fear I’ll stand for souls you forgot out there [Verse 2] Citizens of sorrow, marching with a broken crown We carry names of places that never cared to be found If loyalty is broken, let honesty repair the seam We’ll sew a dawn with voices brave enough to dream [Pre-Chorus] I won’t forget the wounds nor the lessons that they bear I’ll lift the truth with every breath, I’ll choose to stay aware [Chorus] I hate the lie that claimed my land, I’m tired of the blame I bound my heart to a different flame From streets to dreams, I won’t bow to fear I’ll stand for souls you forgot out there [Bridge] If change is a river, let it run through every street Let mercy be the compass when the night is hard to breathe [Chorus] I hate the lie that claimed my land, I’m tired of the blame I bound my heart to a different flame From streets to dreams, I won’t bow to fear I’ll stand for souls you forgot out there [Outro] Maybe tomorrow we’ll see a new sunrise on the plaza floor Until then I’ll keep my faith in voices asking for more
