she wears a number tonight no one calls her by her name beneath the dim orange light she's an item on display the drugs are still in her veins they keep her numb to the pain she closes her eyes but sleep offers no escape offers no escape
her heart is breaking alone in the silence her body is shaking a victim of violence she wasn't given a choice their threats have silenced her voice but the song she carries cannot be destroyed it cannot be destroyed
she was not born a slave
there is a fight left inside your eyes a spark that will not die screaming out now for the overthrow we're stepping across the line we're wasting no more time the moment has come for the overthrow
a siren sounds in my chest there's a growing urgency and we won't take any rest 'til she has been set free I can hear the thunder roll and I know love has come to overthrow the fear that tries to keep control keep control keep keep control
I'd rather be brave than safe brave than safe
there is a fight left inside your eyes a spark that will not die screaming out now for the overthrow we're stepping across the line we're wasting no more time the moment has come for the overthrow
we will overcome we will overcome we will overcome we will overcome
