There's a whisper on the wind
Flowing over all the land
Hear it swelling in the distance
As our people take a stand
There's a story inside the sorrow
One that demands to be heard
Sweeping in with a generation
Ending silence with our words

Martin Luther King had a dream so he spoke to it
Ida B. Wells saw the sickness so she wrote to it
Throughout our history, there've been triumphs and trials 
But if you think that we'll sit idly by
Know that we won't do it
Malala wanted to learn so she scribbled away
Boys and girls across the country just want to be safe
Raising our voices in the dark of the night
Trying to be the light when we see things aren't right
See us marching down the streets bearing signs and banners
See us sitting in and standing saying black lives matter, and
Black lives matter, and
Our lives matter
Can we say it any louder, we say
Our lives matter
When it comes to what matters, we'll never stay quiet
And every day's an uphill battle but we're trying
And while we speak truth, no lie can remain
We're defined by what we stand for when we're afraid
So when you're afraid, you can march next to me
Till our walk spans from the sea to shining sea
There are moments when the words feel caught between your teeth
There are days when it takes all you have to just breathe
But underneath is something better
If we all just come together
We can wade through any weather 
To find the change we seek
Our conviction is unending 
Through our voices, we're extending
It's this silence that we're ending
So we speak

I've spent a lifetime
Waiting for someone to tell me
This time is my time
But life took a turn and it showed me
There is no half-time
There are no sidelines to hide on
This is our moment
And our voices are all we can really rely on

There's a whisper on the wind
Flowing over all the land
Hear it swelling in the distance
As our people take a stand
There's a story inside the sorrow
One that demands to be heard
Sweeping in with a generation
Ending silence with our words
