Songs of Longing - Living Rebellion, Young Heart

I feel the pain that you’ve been dealt your whole damn horrid life

I feel the hunger that you’ve felt, the grief, the fear, the strife

I won’t let you be a coin in their hand

I won’t let you be a sacrifice lamb

I feel the war that we can win if we put up a fight

I feel the deep abandonment that never has been right

I won’t let you make the powerful rich

I won’t let them paint the world in their pitch

———

The earth is on our side

And the prophecy’s burning bright

The fire that I know

Is telling me, telling me so

Let’s burn their empire to the ground

Put on their golden crowns

Come rising, rising up

Fill life in every cup

Let’s win this war today

Say what we have to say

Let’s find out power now

Let’s never ever bow

———

I feel the lessons you were taught that you’re not worth as much

I feel the lessons I’ve been taught to welcome power’s touch

I won’t let us be a knife in their belt

I won’t let us be a fabric they felt

I feel the death that’s looming over each and every one

I feel the way the shadows try to hide me from the sun

I won’t let us forfeit all our dreams

I won’t let us silence dead people’s screams

———

The earth is on our side

And the prophecy’s burning bright

The fire that I know

Is telling me, telling me so

Let’s burn their empire to the ground

Put on their golden crowns

Come rising, rising up

Fill life in every cup

Let’s win this war today

Say what we have to say

Let’s find out power now

Let’s never ever bow

———

I feel the women, feel the children, all the ones they killed

I feel the deep humanity divinity can’t fill

I will make us all become full divine

I will make sure all the people are fine

I feel the fire that is older than they’ll ever know

I feel the magic lying latent in us all below

I will make the people know of their hope

I will help us burn this bad story’s trope

———

The earth is on our side

And the prophecy’s burning bright

The fire that I know

Is telling me, telling me so

Let’s burn their empire to the ground

Put on their golden crowns

Come rising, rising up

Fill life in every cup

Let’s win this war today

Say what we have to say

Let’s find out power now

Let’s never ever bow

———

When the powers that be are nothing but ash

When we hold the key, no more will they clash

When we hold the key, we’ll unlock all chains

When we hold the key, all people will gain

When the dead they awake and remember all

All people will hear rebellion’s call

When we can go back to our families

Watch how the night stars shine bright through the trees

———

The earth is on our side

And the prophecy’s burning bright

The fire that I know

Is telling me, telling me so

Let’s burn their empire to the ground

Put on their golden crowns

Come rising, rising up

Fill life in every cup

Let’s win this war today

Say what we have to say

Let’s find out power now

Let’s never ever bow

———

Lover, lover with sad eyes

In a blaze of flame, we’ll rise

Lover, lover, with sad eyes

They will hear our warrior cries355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxisOPfN6Gj
