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
