thana alexa - the resistance lyrics
can’t take my freedom
away
using my fear and pain
won’t sway
my mind from my integrity
won’t agree when only some
are free
will not stay silent
today
change is born from the ones
who say
injustice will not be our law
resistance now is our duty
rise up
rise up
rise up
rise up
rise up
rise up
knowledge is power
to gain
admitting ignorance
is king
integrate grief into healing, don’t give up now
silence is surrender
so, speak!
be wise, but be wild
evil only seeks to divide
we must rise, outsize
revolutionise our minds
to unify
detoxify
not turn a blind eye
while they vilify
our rights
our cries
change can only come with time
[spoken word]
we have to find the fortitude to keep
rising up
for them, for ourselves
for our children, for our children’s children
it’s time to raise more than our eyebrows in protest
it’s time to put our bodies where we say our politics lie
this is not a moment to evoke the
sweet by and by
this is a moment for
civil disobedience
if there is any humanity left in you
get up!
get up, i say stand up!
stand up, i say sit in!
write, you have to scream
wail, you have to march
pull down that racist f+cking flag
we have to plan
we have to scheme
we have to plot our way forward
we have to strategise!
if you rise up
be the voice of
the change that you want
now starts the resistance
when you rise up
don’t let self+doubt
turn to self+sabotage
we the people
will restore
free body
free mind
free words
our time
not fine
with liberty and justice only for some
so be wild, but be wise
evil only seeks to divide
we must rise, outside
revolutionise our minds
only the dead can see the end
why can’t we learn from our mistakes
of our bloodshed
divide and conquer
this is their plan
newspaperman
stories to focus on instead
sometimes keep your ratings low
if we’re to come together now
rise up before they shoot us down
no building walls between our friends
mind your own uterus, my man
i am woman hear me roar!
rise up, rise up!
so rise up, rise up, rise up!
only the dead can see the end
why can’t we learn from our mistakes
of our bloodshed
divide and conquer
this is their plan
newspaperman
stories to focus on instead
sometimes keep your ratings low
if we’re to come together now
rise up before they shoot us down
no building walls between our friends
mind your own uterus, my man
i am woman hear me roar!
rise up, rise up!
so rise up, rise up, rise up!
