A Million Heroes

At least a million
far more than that
everyone a hero
leaving their seat

Standing for justice
for the rights of their people
toppling tyrants
the despots to go

Life will be different
a prayer that there would be peace
power in the people
to set themselves free

A time of sudden change
a hope for things to come
watched over by our Father
Oh let your kingdom come
