Drums of Defiant Dawn

Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Turnin' pain into the north Feel the pulse break the chain Break the chain Turnin' pain into the north Feel the pulse break the chain Break the chain We march with feet that never tire Songs of hope in every stride No more silence, tango tight We march with feet that never tire Songs of hope in every stride No more silence, no more lies Let the truth be our guide Call and respond Feel the beat, feel it In your soul on repeat Oh, the rhythm calls us now Afrobeat in our veins Oh, break the chain Slow it down Let the sex cry out the unspoken words Percussion builds like a wave Crashing through the hurts With a spark in the night We march with feet that never tire Igniting what was dim No surrender to the greed We rise, we sing, we win From the dawn of every struggle We weave our stories strong We'll lose where they tangle tight But our melody prolongs Now for the land that burnt our fire Resistance in our sway Ditty battles turn to triumphs Lighting up the way Hey, hey Who's with me? With me In this dance of liberty Liberty Oh, the rhythm calls us now In this fight we fight We stand unbound Afrobeat in our veins Feel the pulse break the chain As the sun dips low Our echoes linger on Community in every step The battle never gone We celebrate the warriors The dreamers in the fray With every beat We claim our day Forever in the clay Hey, hey One time Feel the power Make it shine Make it shine Make it shine Make it shine Make it shine Make it shine Make it shine Make it shine Make it shine Make it shine Make it shine Make it shine Make it shine
