See what the world's done? Came to London
|
She's a nothing, a no one, she's undone
|
Broken dreams, stolen freedom
|
Trapped in the night, trafficked and beaten
|
All a part of an evil economy
|
Nothing more than someone's commodity
|
A precious being like you and me
|
A daughter, a sister, a somebody!
|
|
She was drawn by the bright lights
|
She was tied up in their lights
|
She worked right through the daylight
|
No voice, she's a slave to the night
|
|
27 million like me
|
(That's 27 million on this cruel journey)
|
|
We've got to rise up, open our eyes up
|
Be her voice, be her freedom, come on stand up!
|
We've got to rise up, open our eyes up
|
Be her voice, be her freedom, come on stand up!
|
We've got to rise up, open our eyes up
|
Be her voice, be her freedom, come on stand up!
|
We've got to rise up, open our eyes up
|
Be her voice, be her freedom, come on stand up!
|
|
After the man left, she's nothing left
|
No one, no love, no one to call her friend
|
She's stuck in the pit of hell
|
She's almost sick from the smell
|
She's numb, she's dead from the inside out
|
Her heart is screaming but you don't hear the shout
|
Who's the voice? Who's gonna break the door down?
|
Who wakes her up from the nightmare now?
|
|
She was drawn by the bright lights
|
She was tied up in their lights
|
She worked right through the daylight
|
No voice, she's a slave to the night
|
|
27 million like me
|
(27 million need Heaven's mercy!)
|
|
We've got to rise up, open our eyes up
|
Be her voice, be her freedom, come on stand up!
|
We've got to rise up, open our eyes up
|
Be her voice, be her freedom, come on stand up!
|
We've got to rise up, open our eyes up
|
Be her voice, be her freedom, come on stand up!
|
We've got to rise up, open our eyes up
|
Be her voice, be her freedom, come on stand up!
|
|
27 million, are you joking?
|
How did we let evil get so tight a grip
|
Watching while the world falls apart?
|
How did we let this stuff begin?
|
We're not bothered if this offends
|
Cause you got people that can depend
|
But they ain't got that, they got nothing
|
Sometimes you gotta stand for something
|
Let this be the stand against your blood running
|
|
Little girl don't cry
|
Let me dry your eyes in the darkest night
|
(You're not alone)
|
Hold on through the storm
|
You're not on your own
|
Hold on, love will come
|
|
We've got to rise up, open our eyes up
|
Be her voice, be her freedom, come on stand up!
|
[repeat until end]
