Echoes of Resilience

In the streets of Lagos, under neon lights Corruption whisper stealing our night We work the markets sweat in the sun Dreams differ, but the fight's just begun Voices rising, from the shanties we call No more silence, we won't let it fall Rise up, oh people, feel the beat in your soul Together we stand, making the rhythm roll Afro beat, rolling, horns blow loud and free Resilient circles, that's our victory Politicians promise, horns blow loud and free Resilient circles, that's our victory Politicians promise, but they take it all away But Italy is broken, but we dance to the grave From the villages, to the cities raw Our ancestors fight, yeah, in light as our God Rise up, oh people, feel the beat in your souls Together we stand, making the rhythm flow Our forebears rolling, horns blow loud and free Resilience echoes that's our victory victory yeah hear the talking drum it speaks of our pain but in the group we find the game yeah no more Let the spirits unite in this dance of life we claim our right rise up oh people feel the beat in your soul together we stand making the rhythm oh our floor beat calling horns blow loud and free prison in circles that's our victory victory rise up oh people oh people Feel the beat in your soul together we stand we stand Making the rhythm, oh Our four people callin', horns blow loud and free Isn't it sick oh that's our victory victory victory We keep on moving In the heart of the night I feel beat Hold it forever Yeah We'll be right back.
