Don't Wait Up

I’ll never forget that fateful day

Or the tears that filled up my eyes

He said “I can’t breathe” and called out for his mother

And they let him die, they just let him die

“Murderers!” I screamed to no one (someone listen!)

With fist of rage and broken heart (someone care!)

Then something snapped when I heard the voices calling To come alive

and make it right

I wanna be the first in line, the last to leave

Fist in the air and out in the streets

Don’t wait up for me tonight

No Justice, No Peace rang through the night

The fires raged as our hearts aligned

No turning back and there’s nowhere to hide

From the rising tide, this revolution’s alive

With songs of pain raised to the surface (someone listen!) Defiant voices

bold and bright (someone care!)

This is the anthem of a new generation

Who won’t lay down and die without a fight

So tonight we stand and fight

Oh I won’t be silent anymore

This is my anthem, this is war

A binding promise from my heart to yours

I won’t be silent anymore
