Jerusalem Courage (We Won't Be Silent)

[Intro – Organ and ambient rhythm] [Verse 1 – Slow groove, lead vocal with light choir echo] They broke the bread, they shared the flame, (No one lacked, they bore no shame.) Hearts were one, like soul and skin, One accord, one fire within. They met with joy, they met in need, They lived the Truth in word and deed. Every prayer, every meal— Love was fierce, raw, and real. (Yes it was!) [Chorus – Call and response, full band lift] We cannot be silent! (No, we can't!) Seen too much! (Seen too much!) This fire inside us (Keeps burnin’ up!) You tell us to hush, (But we won’t bow!) We answer to glory, Not to your chains! [Verse 2 – Preacher rhythm, claps, organ, guitar groove] They stood accused in courts of stone, But the fire in their voice was not their own. The rulers stared, they couldn’t deny— Those men had walked with fire in their eyes. They spoke with power, no fear to lend— “We speak what we've seen, we speak what we’ve been!” (Yes they did!) [Chorus – Call and response, full band lift] We cannot be silent! (No, we can't!) Seen too much! (Seen too much!) This fire inside us (Keeps burnin’ up!) You tell us to hush, (But we won’t bow!) We answer to glory, Not to your chains! [Bridge – Starts quiet, builds to full band + choir] They prayed as one, (no fear to hide). The ground was shaken, (power replied) The Spirit filled, (the fire stayed) They spoke with boldness, (unafraid) [Final Chorus – Full choir, band, organ, and layered vocals] We cannot be silent! (This truth still speaks!) They watched from shadows, (But longed for peace!) The sick came runnin’, (The wounded healed!) And holy power (Shook the field!) [Outro – Vamp, repeated lines, fade with ad-libs] We won’t be silent… (We won’t be still!) We won’t be silent… (We know what’s real!) We won’t be silent… (we speak, we stand) No No No (We won’t be silent…)
