We'll rise and regain the respect we have lost
and get rid of every load
that keeps dragging us down

and they push underground
our ashes mixed up with the dirt.
We are reborn and as strong as before

from the shadows anchored to the floor
all the strength we once had
will be brought back tonight.

We shall overcome.
I dare you to catch us.
I dare you to try.


For the first time I am standing where I want to stand
On a fast train I jumped, I guess it worked out

Found some big shoes to fill but I still took my chance
For the first time I am standing where I want to stand


It's been so quiet so long.
So much was left undone
and it's all in my hand.

Reach out and grab it.
It's been so quiet so long.
So much was left undone

and it's all in my hand.
Reach out and grab it,
no hold-ups will stop me
