We
should rise up, we should stand,
we
should speak truth to power;
We
should not hesitate
to
think about the others
Our
hearts must be open,
standing
in their shoes;
We
should rise as one
crying
out with them
We
should be shouting
for
their freedom
from
foe and friend alike;
We
must stand with the people
those
crying in the street
