Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the land where freedom rang, under skies so blue,
We walked with dreams that carried us, oh, how we never knew,
That voices loud and proud could fade into the night,
Rights we cherished dearly, now slipping out of sight.
Education's light once shone, guiding minds so free,
But shadows gather slowly, what will be will be.

[Chorus]
We took it for granted, the ground we stood upon,
Now they're taking rights away, one by one,
With the weight of every word, we watched the pendulum swing,
Fighting for our future, it's the promise that we bring.

[Verse 2]
Roe v Wade was a beacon, flickering so bright,
But voices in the silence are struggling to fight,
We marched for our existence, we rallied for our say,
Now we hear the echoes of a once clearer day.
With every rally call, rights seem to disappear,
As walls close in around us, we hold our loved ones dear.

[Chorus]
We took it for granted, the ground we stood upon,
Now they're taking rights away, one by one,
With the weight of every word, we watched the pendulum swing,
Fighting for our future, it's the promise that we bring.

[Bridge]
The Nazi playbook whispers, in the shadows of the past,
Mass deportations creeping, freedom cannot last,
ICE and SS, do they wear the same disguise?
While we stand together, let's open up our eyes.

[Verse 3]
What happens next is on us, choices made today,
To lift each other up, come what may,
So rise up in the silence, let your voices soar,
For every time they threaten, we need to fight for more.
We built this land together, built on rights and dreams,
It's time to take a stand, ignite those hopeful gleams.

[Chorus]
We took it for granted, the ground we stood upon,
Now they're taking rights away, one by one,
With the weight of every word, we watched the pendulum swing,
Fighting for our future, it's the promise that we bring.

[Outro]
So shed no tear for freedom, let's rise and stand as one,
In every heart beats justice, for each daughter, each son,
We won't take it for granted, we'll honor those before,
With love in our hearts, we'll keep on fighting for more.
