Lyrics
The Resistance
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
(I) am a nation, (I) am a million faces
Formed together, made for elevation
(I) am a soldier, (I) won't surrender
Faith is like a fire that never burns to embers
(Who's gonna stand up, who's gonna fight?)
The voice of the unheard
(Who's gonna break these chains and lies?)
Love is the answer
I gotta speak it, believe it, that's how I feel inside
I (I) can't (can't) sit here quiet
You can take my heart, you can take my breath
When you pry it from my cold dead chest
This is how we rise up
Heavy as a hurricane, louder than a freight train
This is how we rise up
Heart is beating faster, feels like thunder
Magic, static, call me a fanatic
It's our world, they can never have it
This is how we rise up
It's our resistance, you can't resist us
(Hey) can you hear me? (hey) are you listening?
Sleeping in the shadows, could be making history
(Walk) through the fire, (walk) on the water
Used to be a slave, but now you are a conqueror
They can take my heart
They can take my breath
When they pry it from my cold dead chest
This is how we rise up
Heavy as a hurricane, louder than a freight train
This is how we rise up
Heart is beating faster, feels like thunder
Magic, static, call me a fanatic
It's our world, they can never have it
This is how we rise up
It's our resistance, you can't resist us
Up, up, up, up, up
We're rising up, up, up, up, up
(The voice of the unheard)
Rising up, up, up, up, up
We're rising up, up, up, up, up
(Love is the answer)
Rising up, up, up, up, up
We're rising up, up, up, up, up
(Love is the answer)
This is how we rise up
It's our resistance, you can't resist us
This is how we rise up
Heavy as a hurricane, louder than a freight train
This is how we rise up
Heart is beating faster, feels like thunder
Magic, static, call me a fanatic
It's our world, they can never have it
This is how we rise up
It's our resistance, you can't resist us
