Let us pull up out of darkness
Gain understanding
of life
dilating eyes
open
Upon caressed logic and bold tactic
Under watchful eyes we rise
balancing along tight wires
the keys falling to earth
Tired and hungry
Waiting for the end or the beginning
Of reverence for human rights
Songbirds loudly claiming they to
shall be heard
Throughout time we can’t listen
Forging on this way
Destroying life lines convulsing
Tirelessly we continue on
Forming lines across barriers
Man made bullet proof shacks
Can’t hold up history books
Pulsing hearts awaiting
Hand to hold up lullabies
Sung from mothers arms into
Fathers hands
Among people
Holding eachother up
On this day
In this hour
This very minute
Take up arms, yes,
Take them up
With eachother
Hold on
We to shall be free
