Unbreakable Tide

yo we rise from the shadows they cast roots tangled in chains of the past no more hiding no more asking why time to claim the fire in our sky born in the cracks of a borrowed name skin like a map no one can tame they painted our stories in shades of their gray but deep in the pulse we found our own way tones twisted round words that don't fit dreams deferred but we never quit hands have built empires for someone else's crown now we turn the soil plant our ground we are the storm unbreakable tide post-colonial fire we won't be denied rise up reclaim let the old flags burn our identities ours watch the night from the heart to the street no more ghosts no defeat we own this beat this soul this fight post-colonial strong into the light yeah mirrors live with faces half drawn echoes of rulers long gone but in the rhythm of blood we hear the call ancestors whispering stand tall at the knees of resilience from the ache of loss to the spark of might no saviors needed we forge our blade cut through the fog unafraid we are the storm unbreakable tide post-colonial fire we won't be denied rise up reclaim let the old flags burn our identities ours watch the new world turn shouting loud from the heart to the street no more ghosts no defeat we own this beat this soul this fight post-colonial strong into the light feel the surge no more ghosts no defeat we own this beat this soul this fight post-colonial strong into the light feel the surge no more ghosts no defeat we own this beat this soul this fight post-colonial strong into the light feel the surge no more ghosts no defeat we own this beat this soul this fight post-colonial strong into the light feel the surge no more ghosts no defeat we own this beat this soul this fight post-colonial strong into the light feel the surge no more ghosts no defeat we own this beat this soul this fight post-colonial strong into the light feel the surge no more ghosts no defeat we own this beat this soul this fight post-colonial strong into the light feel the surge no beat this soul this fight post-colonial strong into the light feel the surge no beat this soul this fight post-colonial strong into the light feel the surge no beat this soul this fight post-colonial strong into the light feel the surge no beat this soul this fight post-colonial strong into the light feel the surge no beat this soul this fight post-colonial strong into the light feel the surge no beat this soul this fight post-colonial strong into the light feel the surge no beat this soul this fight feel the surge no beat this soul this fight post-colonial strong into the light feel the surge no beat this soul this fight feel the surge no beat this soul this fight post-colonial strong into the light feel the surge no beat this soul this fight post-colonial strong into the light feel the surge no beat this soul this fight post-colonial strong into the light feel the surge no beat this soul this fight post-colonial strong into the light feel the surge no beat this soul this fight post-colonial strong into the light feel the surge no beat this soul this fight post-colonial strong into the light feel the surge no beat this soul this fight post-colonial strong into the light feel the surge no beat this soul this fight post-colonial strong into the light feel the surge no beat this soul this fight post-colonial strong into the light feel the surge no beat this soul this fight post-colonial strong into the light feel the surge no beat this soul this fight post-colonial strong into the light feel the surge no beat this soul this fight post-colonial strong into the light feel the surge no beat feel the surge no beat this soul this fight post-colonial strong into the light feel the surge no beat this fight post-colonial strong into the light feel the surge no beat this soul this fight post-colonial strong into the light
