The fate of Our nation lies in Our hands,
We must be the ones to take a stand.

Our Democracy is corrupt
and those who lie in office can barely keep up.
We must be the politicians that decide what comes next
because the ones before us helped create this entire mess.
Standing Rock was simply a disaster.
The success of Flint should have come faster.
Starting now we will protest
for there's no time left of us to rest.

We must stand at the picket lines
to show that we are no longer willing to confine.
We will yell and we will scream.
We will fight and we will dream.

If we are not heard
that does not mean our goals are blurred.
A revolution is coming and we are its center.
We are rising up and unwilling to surrender.

The fate of Our nation lies in Our hands
and be afraid because we are finally taking a stand.
