Yellow and Blue
Heavy Crowns and Colored Skies: A Poetic Anthem of Liberation
Lyrics
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Leadership comes with significant responsibilities and burdens.
That builds the kingdom up or tears it down
Leaders have the power to either build or destroy societies.
That liberates their chains or keeps the people bound
The power to free or oppress people lies with those in authority.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Reiteration of the weight of responsibility on leaders.
Heavy is the hand that holds the key
The responsibility of making crucial decisions.
That locks away or sets the captive free
The power to either imprison or grant freedom.
That makes a fist in anger or solidarity
Choosing between aggression and unity.
Heavy is the hand that holds the key
Reiterating the weight of responsibility in decision-making.
Rise up, raise your eyes up
Encouragement to stand up and look beyond limitations.
When you think there’s nothing more you can do
Empowering oneself when feeling helpless.
Rise up, raise your eyes up
Repeated encouragement to rise above obstacles.
The world is coloured yellow and blue
Reference to hope, represented by yellow and blue colors.
Heavy is the heart that bears the pain
The emotional weight of enduring pain yet persevering.
That breaks a million times but still remains
Endurance despite repeated suffering.
That carries all their hope and never looks away
Carrying hope for a better future without turning away.
Heavy is the heart that bears the pain
Reiteration of the heaviness of enduring emotional pain.
Heavy are the eyes that will not sleep
Staying awake and aware despite fatigue.
That keep on bearing witness though they weep
Continuing to witness and acknowledge suffering.
That take in all the sorrow but still a vigil keep
Remaining vigilant and compassionate despite sorrow.
Heavy are the eyes that will not sleep
Reiterating the weight of sleepless vigilance.
Rise up, raise your eyes up
Encouragement to persist and not give up.
When you think there’s nothing more you can do
Empowering oneself in the face of perceived limitations.
Rise up, raise your eyes up
Repeated encouragement to overcome challenges.
The world is coloured yellow and blue
Reiteration of hope, symbolized by yellow and blue colors.
