Rise And Resist!
written by: Christian Bass
Stand up,
rise and resist!
No chains can hold us down,
the fire inside won’t burn out fast.
Stay strong.
Hold tight,
rise and resist!
They push, but we push back,
no fear can shake the ground we walk.
Move on.
Speak loud,
rise and resist!
Silence is what they want,
but truth doesn’t bow to quiet threats.
Shout out.
Stand firm,
rise and resist!
Storms come, but we don’t break,
we bend, we fight, we carry on.
Hold fast.
Breathe deep,
rise and resist!
Even the smallest spark
can start a fire, they cannot stop.
Burn bright.
