The High and Mighty

[Intro] [Instrumental] [Verse 1] From the ashes of oppression's reign We rise up, fueled by burning pain The high and mighty, they may think they're above But we won't be silenced, our voices will be enough [Chorus] Rise up, take your stand, don't back down The system's broken, but we'll wear the crown Pride in our hearts, fire in our souls We won't be defeated; we'll make them whole [Verse 2] Their gated communities, a world away From the streets we walk, where survival's the play They may have the power, but we have the truth Our stories untold, our voices will break through [Chorus] Rise up, take your stand, don't back down The system's broken, but we'll wear the crown Pride in our hearts, fire in our souls We won't be defeated; we'll make them whole [Bridge] Their privilege and wealth may buy their peace But ours is built on struggle, a different release Our pride is earned, not bought or sold We'll rise up united, young and old [Chorus] Rise up, take your stand, don't back down The system's broken, but we'll wear the crown Pride in our hearts, fire in our souls We won't be defeated; we'll make them whole [Outro] The high and mighty may think they're supreme But their reign is ending; our time will beam With pride and purpose, we'll take back what's ours And bring down the system that has held us for so long.
