Lyrics

Shadows lingered on our soil So deep their hands gripped tight Made promises they couldn't keep We tore it in silence Dreams turned to dust But now the heartbeats stir In us we trust No more kneeling No more kneeling We stand tall, wheels turning Wheels turning Freedom's rhythm pulsing through our veins Together we rise Shatter every chain No more kneeling No more kneeling Our story's ours, no one's to claim Dance in the light Feel the surge ignite Unity's call We own the night We own the night Echoes of the past fade in the dawn We weave our future From the break of dawn Roots run stronger Branches reach the sky No thief can steal what lives and never dies Oh yeah Lift it higher, yeah, now Feel the fire rise, rise, rise Together we fly No more kneeling No more kneeling We stand tall, wheels turning Wheels turning Freedom's rhythm pulsing through our veins Together we rise Shatter every chain No more kneeling No more kneeling Our story's ours, no one's to claim Dance in the light Feel the surge ignite Unity's call We own the night Step, step, step, ride Move with the beat Clap your hands, stomp your feet Hey, hey, we won't retreat Pulse alive, feel the heat Rise up forever, rise up forever Free, one voice Eternally No more kneeling We stand tall unity's rhythm claims it all We stand tall unity's rhythm claims it all We stand tall unity's rhythm claims it all We stand tall unity's rhythm claims it all We stand tall unity's rhythm claims it all We stand tall unity's rhythm claims it all We stand tall unity's rhythm claims it all We stand tall unity's rhythm claims it all We stand tall unity's rhythm claims it all We stand tall unity's rhythm claims it all We stand tall unity's rhythm claims it all We stand tall unity's rhythm claims it all We stand tall unity's rhythm claims it all We stand tall unity's rhythm claims it all We stand tall unity's rhythm claims it all
