Our People's Saving Grace


Upon here till the day I die I shall never break. And within these walls are many voices some of which are not heard by many but by few I shall fight for these unheard voices because they deserve a chance They tell me it's impossible but I say other wise For I shall not give in Because on this day I shall fight I shall fight until I can no longer breathe I shall fight until I no longer have a heartbeat Because on this day we shall rise in unison Rise out of the ashes and become more than what we were Because on this day we shall fight for our freedom And weither that takes weeks, months, or years we do not care Because on this day we shall forge our paths and finally become the people's salvation We shall fight for our people's rights Our freedoms Our peace of mind Because this land means so much more to us This hilltop we stand upon This peice of land is our people's saving grace I shall not fall We shall not fall Because when we are in unison we are one I shall not surrender to their terms I shall never give up Because the weakest step towards the top of the hill is stronger than the fiercest storm So I shall keep charging into the gates of hell Because I will be damned that they will take this land without a fight I will be damned to see our people in ruins I will be damned to see the day when we sit by idly by while our people suffer I will be damned to see the enemy take this hilltop on this day Because we have worked so hard to achieve this goal I will be damned to see our people give up So fight take up arms comrades Ride against the enemy and charge into the gates of hell Because we are freedom fighters So I shall never give up I shall never surrender Because this hilltop is our people's saving grace
