Everybody wanna know what we gonna do

When they come for me and come for you

Pushin’ at the gates and they’re pushin’ through

Daddy said be brave

Mama told me too!

Darkest before the dawn

If you only knew

Standing on the verge

Enjoy the view

Times are tough

Here’s what we gotta do

You lift me up

And I’ll lift you

 

Stand firm my people hold on

Keep your eyes on freedom, be strong

 

Turn the lights down low

Let’s have a chat

Gotta hold the line

Where my warriors at?

Callin’ out my name

And I answer back

Voice of freedom rings

It’s tit for tat

Moon shinnin’ bright

What you gonna do?

If you got my back

Then I got you

If we’re gonna make it out

Here’s what we gotta do

You cover me and I’ll cover you

 

Stand firm my people hold on

Keep your eyes on freedom be strong
