When someone on the outside gets it into their mind that they can take it down We stand against them as one

When our foundation is poisoned we must all remember that although it came from within that isn't who we are

Our foundation is fragile So we must all stand together Stand for our foundation Because we mustn't let it fall

“We should judge them solely on their merits” That's a good practice to employ But the rest of the world didn't, ensuring that they will never reach you

“You aren't the only one with problems” True, but theirs have been there for hundreds of years and people like them are killed because people like us do nothing

It's not us against them We all share the same blue sky We all breathe the same air We all stand under the same sun

It's all of us together Walking arm in arm Our friends need us right now And that's why you should care

This burden weighs down my spirit It'd be easy to lie down and quit But I can't move forward by standing still I've got to keep going up this hill

It'll be a long time before I'm free but there are people counting on me Right now, I have somewhere to be So sleep will have to wait for me
