Thinking back to brighter years
Before our will was held in chains
Looking back on the pain and tears
The scar is there, but the hope remains
Take this, as a sign
Heed our warning, hear our cry
Free your voices, feed the fire
It's our time now, we will rise
Free your voices, feed the fire
It's our time now, we will rise
Fallen to the ground, looking to the sky
Though you cut us open, we refuse to bleed
Walking through our lives, being watched by hungry eyes
They're fueled by all the lust, the power and the greed
Take this, as a sign
Heed our warning, hear our cry
Free your voices, feed the fire
It's our time now, we will rise
Free your voices, feed the fire
It's our time now, we will rise
And who's gonna hold us down, when we're ready for a fight
We must stand together and make the sacrifice
Yeah they can't hold us down, they can't make us fall
They think they're fighting one, but they're really fighting all
Take this, as a sign
Heed our warning, hear our cry
Free your voices, feed the fire
It's our time now, we will rise
Free your voices, feed the fire
It's our time now, we will rise
We will rise, yeah we will rise
