The Louder We Get

with No Comments

I’m tired of being so afraid and standing on the side.
Watching from the shadows as they try to crush your pride.
Though you’ve been brave and held your ground, they still refuse to fold.
You don’t have to fight alone, you have my hand to hold.

I’m sorry it took me this long.
From now on we stand twice as strong.

They haven’t heard the last of us, they haven’t heard at all.
This is the sound of breaking ground, this is our battle call.
If they think they’ve seen the end, they ain’t seen nothing yet.
The more they try to silence us
The louder we get.

They think they won, but they don’t know that this is just the start.
Words have never failed you when you’re speaking from the heart.
It’s time to show we won’t shut up, won’t take it anymore.
Raise our voice and make some noise that they cannot ignore.

They haven’t heard the last of us, they haven’t heard at all.
This is the sound of breaking ground, this is our battle call.
If they think they’ve seen the end, they ain’t seen nothing yet.
The more they try to silence us
The louder we get.

One voice, one song.
One little spark lighting up the dark.
One word, one truth, one heart.
One face, one cause,
One drop of rain in a hurricane,
One life, one world, one love.

They haven’t heard the last of us, they haven’t heard at all.
This is the sound of breaking ground, this is our battle call.
If they think they’ve seen the end, they ain’t seen nothing yet.
The more they try to silence us
The louder we get.

They haven’t heard the last of us
