Lyrics
The tanks rolled through
The tanks are advancing through
What once was a school
A place that used to be a school
Where children would run
Where children once played
But flowers will bloom
Despite destruction, hope will emerge
Once they grow through
Once flowers grow through tank tracks in mud
The tracks in the mud
Symbolizing resilience
It don't matter which flag hangs high
National flags don't matter in the face of adversity
Oh in the bright morning wind
In the optimistic morning breeze
You can't break the will of a people
The collective determination of a people cannot be broken
By taking their places to live
By displacing them from their homes
These city walls are nothing but
City walls are just obstacles
Concrete obstruction to war
Concrete barriers against war
So go tear them down
Advocacy to dismantle these barriers
We'll stand our ground
Commitment to holding one's position
Bring the fight to your door
Confronting the conflict directly
Crumbled city blocks
Destroyed city blocks
Leveled by bombs
Flattened by bombs
Rained from the sky
Fallen from the sky
You can burn down our homes
Despite home destruction, pride remains
Throw sticks and stones
Resistance to external attacks
But you can't take our pride
Undying pride of the people
It don't matter the lies you tell
Truth doesn't matter to those at home
To the blind sheep at home
Blind obedience to misleading information
You cant break the will of a people
The will of a displaced people is unbreakable
Who've got nowhere else to go
When they have nowhere else to go
These city streets are breaking
Urban streets are crumbling
Under the weight of your war
Under the weight of the ongoing war
So go tear us down
Call to dismantle oppressive structures
We'll stand here proud
Resolve to stand firm despite challenges
Bring the fight to your door
Direct confrontation of conflict
These city walls are nothing but
City walls serve as barriers
Concrete obstruction to war
Concrete hindrance to peace
So go tear them down
Advocacy to dismantle these barriers
We'll stand our ground
Commitment to holding one's position
Bring the fight to your door
Confronting the conflict directly
These city streets are breaking
Urban streets are crumbling
Under the weight of your war
Under the weight of the ongoing war
Go tear us down
Call to dismantle oppressive structures
We'll stand our ground
Resolve to stand firm despite challenges
Bring the fight to your door
Direct confrontation of conflict
So go tear us down
Call to dismantle oppressive structures
We'll stand here proud
Resolve to stand firm despite challenges
Bring the fight to your door
Confronting the conflict directly
