Can we meet your hate with love?
Can we keep our years of silence as you crush us from above?
As the judgment day draws closer, as the reckoning draws near
There’s plenty more of us than you here
Mark my words, we will rise
Mark my words, we will rise
As the judgment day draws closer, as the reckoning draws near
There’s plenty more of us than you here
Can we meet your cuts with oneness?
Can we make a brighter day?
Can we keep our sense of wonder as you strip our dreams away?
As the people’s anger gathers, as injustice becomes clear
There’s always more of us than you here
Mark my words, we will rise
Mark my words, we will rise
As the people’s anger gathers, as injustice becomes clear
There’s always more of us than you here
Will you lock our door to migrants?
Will you sell our NHS?
Will you curse our land with Trident, leave our Earth a fracking mess?
As our movements get together, as people lose their fear
There’s masses more of us than you here
Mark my words, we will rise
Mark my words, we will rise
As our movements get together, as people lose their fear
There’s masses more of us than you here
Do you think that we’ll keep quiet?
Do you think you’ve worn us out?
Don’t you hear the people singing, can’t you hear the people shout?
As the voices of the choir sound a warning in your ear
There’s many more of us than you, hear!
Mark my words, we will rise
Mark my words, we will rise
As the voices of the choir sound a warning in you ear
There’s many more of us than you, hear!
