[Verse 1] Quiet street Empty hands But the ground remembers Every stand Small breath In the dark Just a spark in the throat Of a beaten heart [Pre-Chorus] Who taught you To shrink your voice? Who sold you The silence? [Chorus] I am not alone I am every shout you buried I am flesh and bone And I will not go quietly We are louder than your fear Every whisper gathers here Till the sky breaks open wide Hear humanity Rising from the underside [Verse 2] Old scars New names Different flags Same games But we carry Every face Every mother in the crowd Who never got a grave [Pre-Chorus] Who told you Our grief is small? We are oceans In the wall [Chorus] I am not alone I am every shout you buried I am flesh and bone And I will not go quietly We are louder than your fear Every whisper gathers here Till the sky breaks open wide Hear humanity Rising from the underside [Bridge] Step by step Heartbeat drum (hey!) One becomes a thousand tongues Say your name Say your pain Say it once Say it again We are more Than you erase Every life A sacred place [Chorus] I am not alone I am every shout you buried I am flesh and bone And I will not go quietly We are louder than your fear Every whisper gathers here Till the sky breaks open wide Hear humanity Standing side by side [Outro] Slow fire Steady light We are what Outlives your might Every breath A vow renewed All of life Is speaking through us now
