Oh, oh, oh

Charters in the distance

Crowd roaming out

No thanks, Shredder

Yeah

One dummy on the clock

We don't run, we don't hide, no more tears that we keep inside

If you raise your hand, you're going to jail

No excuse, yeah, the system won't fail

Kids growing up with a stolen future

Fearing the walls that they never should hear

We lift them up, we make it clear

Love ain't supposed to feel like fear

Feel like fear

Love ain't supposed to feel like fear

Feel like fear

Love ain't supposed to feel like

Came home with the rage in the stepmother holding her breath while protecting her chest

Children in the corner with their hands on their ears

Dreams shrink down when you grow up in fear

Every shout, every slam and the scars they sew

Little hearts learn early what they can't control

But the cycle ends now, we standing up today

Hands on her, they're taking you away

No more silence, no more pain

Break those chains, take back your name

From the ashes, rise again

This is where the healing begins

We don't run, we don't hide, no more tears that we keep inside

If you raise your hand, you're going to jail

No excuse, yeah, the system won't fail

Kids growing up with a stolen future

Fearing the walls that they never should hear

Lift them up, we make it clear

Love ain't supposed to feel like fear

Love ain't supposed to feel like fear

Love ain't supposed to feel like

Mama, you're stronger than the nights you survived

Your heartbeat's proof that you're still alive

Kids need hope, not the sound of a threat

A world with peace is the one that you get

Call the line, get out, let the law step in

Can't do it again, real men protect

They don't break you down

Throw abusers in jail, get them out this town

Hands up for the brave who escape

Hands up for the kids who wait

Hands up for the world we're changing

Bass so loud, the fear is fading

We don't run, we don't hide, no more tears that we keep inside

If you raise your hand, you're going to jail

No excuse, yeah, the system won't fail

Kids growing up with a stolen future

Fear on the walls that they never should hear

We lift them up, we make it clear

Love ain't supposed to feel like fear

Feel like fear

Feel like fear

Feel like fear

Love ain't supposed to feel like fear

Break the cycle

Break the silence

Break the chains

We rise
