We won't hide

[Start] [Intro] [Verse] In the land of the sun, where the palm trees sway, There's a shadow that falls, where children can't play. In the heart of Jamaica, where the rhythm beats strong (beats strong), There's a cry in the streets, where something's gone wrong (gone wrong). [Chorus] We're standing up, against the tide, For our children's future, we won't hide. Gangs may roar, but we will sing, For a Jamaica where peace's rising [Verse] From Kingston to Montego Bay, the story's the same, Young lives are lost, in the deadly game. Brothers and sisters, caught in the fray (in the fray) We won't stand silent, we'll fight today (fight today) [Chorus] We're standing up, against the tide, For our children's future, we won't hide. Gangs may roar, but we will sing, For a Jamaica where peace's rising [melodic interlude] [Pre-chorus] No more blood spilled on our streets, [Bridge] No more tears for our youths to weep. We'll break the chains, we'll make a stand, Together we'll rise, hand in hand. [Chorus] We're standing up, against the tide, For our children's future, we won't hide. Gangs may roar, but we will sing, For a Jamaica where peace's rising [Chorus] We're standing up, against the tide, For our children's future, we won't hide. Gangs may roar, but we will sing, For a Jamaica where peace's rising [Percussion Break] [Syncopated Bass] [Outro] In the land of the sun, let freedom ring, In the land of the sun, let hope take wing. For a Jamaica where love transcends, We'll keep on singing, until the violence ends. [Instrumental Interlude] [Fade to End] [End]
