lyrics

I go to where I want to
I am my fate
The walls that you put up are crumbling
As the messengers of the rich and pedaling their hate
Who knows what tomorrow will bring
Among all the people who stand in the street
The 5-0 are coming, to destroy everything within reach
The dust is settling
The world is not complete
It's been broken and hidden for decades by crooked politicians and their cheats

The broken spirits are rising
maybe it will be surprising to think we can do something
about the problems of society

To live in a society of torment
To breathe, with a racing heart filled with fear
The clouds of hate will open to a sky which is clear
Power to the people
Power to the poor
Power to the many who are not here anymore
Power within
Power to the protesters who are saying "Black Lives Matter Everywhere"
