To wake up
against the rallying chains
of the unwilling,
who keep us captive and weak.
Lies become so cheap
you can buy a seat at parliament’s feet
But the price sleeps
In that house of white.
We as the people,
have a right-
to wake up
yet it is not enough,
awakening only works with
ten thousand fists in the air
in protest
Not to stand proud
but for firmness
denying weakness
We as the people,
are not a guest to democracy.
Democracy is a home for all
Those taller,
should use their fingertips
to reach toward the sun
rather than standing in the way
Let that light no longer be difficult to obtain—
let it reign
over abuse of power
temperature rising on the corrupt
our brightness
must be a force
to drive out darkness
Humanity standing tall for everyone
no worries of divinity
when the land we live on
wouldn’t be blessed by any god
soil planted by frauds
and the hate spread
grows nothing
from this earth
To rise-
Everyone can survive
Only with the courage
And ending of lost lives
Power depends on the downfall,
for someone to die
but revolution only requires
us
to rise,
to rise,
to rise.
