If the stand must be taken — then I will rise. I’ll speak my truth. I’ll take back my power. Every tear that falls will carry the weight of what was done, and every tremor that runs through my bones will remind me — I am still here. I’ll take the questions. I’ll take the lies. But I’ll stand — loud, tall, and unshaken — because I know, I’ve done it all. And when I stand there, my thoughts will be with those who never made it this far. Those who lost their lives. Those too scared to speak. Those who endured the pain I never had to witness. You — you will give me voice. You will give me reason. You are the breath before I speak, the fire that lifts my words from fear into strength. I’ll speak louder — for you. Prouder — for you. Every word I say will carry your name, your silence, your fight. My story will be heard. And so will yours. For every injustice that took your truth — I will bring it back. Because you are my power. You are my reason. And I — I will rise.

For those who never got chance
If the stand must be taken — then I will rise. I’ll speak my truth. I’ll take back my power. Every tear that falls will carry the weight of what was done, and every tremor that runs through my bones will remind me — I am still here. I’ll take the questions. I’ll take the lies. But I’ll stand — loud, tall, and unshaken — because I know, I’ve done it all. And when I stand there, my thoughts will be with those who never made it this far. Those who lost their lives. Those too scared to speak. Those who endured the pain I never had to witness. You — you will give me voice. You will give me reason. You are the breath before I speak, the fire that lifts my words from fear into strength. I’ll speak louder — for you. Prouder — for you. Every word I say will carry your name, your silence, your fight. My story will be heard. And so will yours. For every injustice that took your truth — I will bring it back. Because you are my power. You are my reason. And I — I will rise.
