Polyrhythms of Defiance

Wake up in the morning Chains on my mind Shadows of the power Of stealing what's mine They build their towers high While we sweep the ground The voices rising up Hear the thunder sound Rain that never falls Echoing our calls The leader's peace While the people starve But a fire's burning We'll tear down the bar The weight of injustice Heavy on our backs While we free Trump Hear the thunder sound Empty promises Like rain that never falls Hunger in the streets Echoing that call The leader's peace While the people starve But a fire's burning We'll tear down the bar Build it up Layer by layer Strong Where we always go We dance Heart's been a song Through the endless night United we stand With the feet in our soul Pushing back the darkness Making love broken Oh Yeah Yeah To carry us through In every step Every shout We're renewed Gather round the fire Laughter mixed with tears Both placed to stand The weight of once tremble When our voices unite Waves of re-drunk We launch our attack Hey! Who feels it? Whispers of tomorrow in the midnight cool For the love we hold For the dreams we doubt Build it up Layer by layer Strong in the pulse of the people Where we all belong We dance Heart's been strong Through the endless night United we stand Oh feel the groove Let it carry us through In every step Every shout We're renewed Gather round the fire Laughter mixed with tears But we don't despair The corrupt ones tremble When our voices unite Waves of resistance Crash and fall Crash into the night Who feels it? We all feel it deep Keep moving No time to sleep In the quiet moments When the world is asleep We find our power in the secret Secrets we keep In the quiet moments Through the storm and the struggle We claim our rights Let the rhythm heal Let it set us alive In this communal fight Our spirits fly We dance in The rhythm Of the fight Heart's been strong Through the endless night With the beat in our soul Pushing back the darts Making the broken whole Feel the groove Let it carry us through In every step Every shout We dance Outwear and loose Now the sun breaks free So do we at last Echoes of our song From the future to the past No more shadow Don't Rule it over I've decided I've decided I've decided I've decided I've decided I've decided I've decided I've decided I've decided I've decided I've decided I've decided I've decided I've decided I've decided I've decided I've decided I've decided I've decided I've decided I've decided I've decided I've decided I've decided
