Heart of the Young
Embracing Hope: Defying Injustice
Lyrics
Time has got the best of us
Time has taken a toll on us
And for God the rest of us
Despite challenges, we hold on to faith
Sit on down & watch TV
Relax and distract ourselves with TV
Trying to find the piece of sanity
Searching for a fragment of sanity
Will we ever get back innocence
Will we regain lost purity?
And get lost in all the little things we care
Reconnect with the small joys that matter
Whoa, we’re not gonna stand for this
Expressing resistance against undesirable circumstances
With love we fight injustice
Fighting challenges with love
Ready or not here we come
Readying ourselves for whatever comes
We are hope, we are the heart of the young
We embody hope, representing the youth
Trapped in ? we’re going down
Feeling confined or stuck, facing adversity
With trembling hands we hold our ground
Firmly holding our position despite fear
Ancestors fire their way
Ancestors overcoming obstacles with determination
Through hate & worthless barricades
Breaking through hate and pointless barriers
Will we ever take back innocence
Questioning if we can reclaim lost innocence
And get lost in all the little things we care
Rediscovering joy in the little things we value
Whoa, we’re not gonna stand for this
Reiterating the refusal to accept the status quo
With love we fight injustice
Confronting challenges with the power of love
Ready or not here we come
Prepared for whatever challenges lie ahead
We are hope, we are the heart of the young
We represent hope, the spirit of the youth
Feeling like a broken record that I can’t escape (We are, we are)
Feeling stuck in a repetitive and inescapable situation
Watching it in slow motion, wishing it would go away
Observing difficulties in slow motion, wishing for resolution
Feeling like a broken record that I can’t escape (We are, we are)
Repeating the sense of being trapped and unable to break free
Whoa, we’re not gonna stand for this
Reaffirming the refusal to accept undesirable circumstances
With love we fight injustice
Facing challenges with the strength of love
Ready or not here we come
Prepared for whatever challenges lie ahead
We are hope, we are the heart of the young
We represent hope, the spirit of the youth
