Lyrics

People been talking about it We won't just stand here in silence Can't stop the fire from rising Rising, oh, oh People, don't you be afriad So many innocents slayed This is an era for change Change Malcom's probably turning in his grave Every shade was beautifully made And powerful There's so much strength in you and me Powerful A breath away from victory I matter You matter We matter, oh I matter You matter We matter, oh Powerful Powerful I see a colorful future Where skin don't define any human Where stars are the ony thing shooting Shooting, oh Mothers who bury their child How can we sit there and hide Change comes when all take a stand now Stand up Stand up Martin's speech still echoes in my brain Every shade was beautifully made And powerful There's so much strength in you and me Powerful A breath away from victory I matter You matter We matter, oh I matter You matter We matter, oh Powerful Powerful Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Powerful There's so much strength in you and me Powerful A breath away from victory I matter You matter We matter, oh I matter You matter We matter, oh Powerful Powerful
