From the factories to the fields to wherever darkness wields its knife
|
To the hearts of freedom beating
|
For those who have a burning deep down inside that scares them to death but keeps them alive
|
In the middle of the battlezone surrounding
|
|
No matter how many battles are won, the war will continue to rage on
|
With their unlimited weapons of media, power and money
|
And just when you feel all hope is lost, you hear of someone with their life they've paid the cost
|
You return to the fight a little more scarred, a little more determined
|
|
Everyone else around you wallows in the abyss of mediocrity
|
But you're all consumed with the altruistic vision that every person should be free
|
|
But through every cloudy night, your only driving force is to do what's right
|
You never give in, you keep fighting the good fight
|
|
You fight for one person to get a second chance and you fight for the masses to be able to dance
|
In a freedom drenched field of dignity and justice
|
Your heart well it must be strong, and your soul true enough to carry on
|
As you lose your mind in the midst of all the shambles
|
|
|
The odds are stacked so high, its so much easier to resign
|
Yourself to live your life the way they told you
|
|
We know we're strong enough to survive, but we'll be damned if our kids have to live their lives
|
With the same kind of hopelessness and utter despair
|
We can't protect them from every evil they see but we can fight for them to live free
|
With a little self worth and liberty screaming
|
|
And those that came before us and worked all their lives
|
Never made it ahead, let alone, couldn't even get by
|
Never got to enjoy what they worked so hard for
|
For our children who have yet to come, and our parents and grandparents who fought on and on and on
|
That forges the unyielding passion for the fight of freedom
|
|
|
They're gonna think we're crazy and look down on us
|
We may be poor, but our souls are righteous
|
And I'd rather be damned than live how they told me to
|
