Dm F
There was a time, there was a kingdom
C
They took our lives, they stole our freedom
Dm F
We heard our mothers cry, we saw our brothers die
C
And it was all gone
Dm F
Back in that day, I still remember
C
The way it felt, to hear surrender
Dm F
All of our fathers tried, to find a compromise
C
But it was all gone
Dm F
All we had
C
All we had to claim to our name
was the blame or the bleeding
Dm F
All the scars
C
They won’t fade away
Dm Bb
Raise Up!
C F
They’re never gonna hold us down
Dm Bb
Raise Up!
C F
Wont let nobody stop us now
Dm Bb
Spit out the pain, look me in the face
F
And tell me what you’re fighting for
Dm Bb
Raise Up!
C F
They’re never gonna hold us down
It’s such a shame, All of our hometown
Went up in flames, our souls were burned down
We heard our mothers cry, we saw our brothers die
And it was all gone
Back in that place, I still remember
Promise we made, of no surrender
We know our fathers tried, but there’s no compromising
Til they’re all gone
