Did you ever start to feel
All the chains that were made of steel
Would slowly break open

That castle walls would come crashing down
Leaving us with the crown
Free the blindness from our eyes

And let us rise

And we believed, in words of elders

In the tales that they had told
And we believed, in days of glory
With heads held high

Reaching for the sky
That we would fly We waited til dawn
Under the moonlight As thunder shook the night We began to believe, that our time had arrived And suddenly, it all came so clearly That what we had held dearly Would never be taken away As the prophets had told And we believed, in words of elders In the tales that they had told And we believed, in days of glory With heads held high Reaching for the sky That we would fly
