Lyrics
Aren't you going to come along?
Invitation to join
Aren't you going to fight?
Encouragement to engage in a struggle or battle
Aren't you going to hold your hands up to the light?
Encouragement to face difficulties or challenges openly
If you feel an emptiness, if you want to hide
Recognition of feeling empty and wanting to avoid
Think about the blood that's pumping keeping you alive
Contemplation of the life force within
We've got it all worked out, the plans all made
Confidence in having plans set
If we believe in the fight then we're all saved
Belief in the fight leading to salvation
It's gonna hurt for a while but it would anyway
Acknowledgment of inevitable pain
Let us stand resolute with our voices raised
Advocacy for standing firm with vocal support
We have a right to insist to be free and brave
Assertion of the right to freedom and bravery
If that should cease to exist I'd throw my heart away
Commitment to sacrifice if freedom disappears
It's a long long way to the promised land
Acknowledgment of a challenging journey ahead
So try where you are, do what you can
Encouragement to take action within one's capacity
You belong to what you understand
Belonging to what one comprehends or relates to
So teach yourself how to demand the monument that you deserve
Empowerment to demand recognition deserved
For rising up in a beaten down world
Acknowledgment of resilience in a difficult world
Aren't you going to come along?
Reiteration of the invitation to join
Aren't you going to fight?
Encouragement to engage in the struggle
Aren't you going to hold your hands up to the light?
Encouragement to face challenges openly
If you feel an emptiness, if you want to hide
Recognition of emptiness and desire to hide
Think about the blood that's pumping keeping you alive
Contemplation of the life force within
