Breaking Chains: Embrace Freedom and Unity with People On The Hill
Lyrics
Put your ears in
Encourages active listening and engagement.
Cause this is where the story begins
Indicates the start of a narrative or journey.
If you think the word is not for you
Suggests the relevance of the message to everyone.
That's exactly what its here for
Asserts that the message is inclusive and meaningful.
If you feel like you don't belong
Addresses feelings of not fitting in.
You couldn't be any more wrong
Rejects the idea of not belonging, promoting inclusivity.
If you're feeling out of place
Recognizes and empathizes with those feeling out of place.
Then that's what we're here for
States a collective purpose in supporting those in need.
They been trying to divide us
Highlights attempts to create division among people.
Take away who stood beside us
References efforts to separate and weaken unity.
And make your friend your enemy
Warns against turning friends into enemies.
They been trying to separate us
Points out attempts to create distance between people.
Pacify us and sedate us
Addresses efforts to numb and control the population.
But we know they're the enemy
Acknowledges awareness of those trying to harm or control.
We want to be free
Expresses the desire for freedom.
Stand with me
Calls for unity in the face of ignorance and prejudice.
We're at war with ignorance and bigotry
Identifies the battle against ignorance and bigotry.
And they been tryin to make you fear
Notes attempts to instill fear in the population.
And made division their religion
Accuses the promotion of division as a kind of belief system.
Fight for love
Advocates fighting against negativity with love.
We can only kill the darkness with light
Emphasizes the power of goodness to dispel darkness.
And how are we supposed to move on
Raises the question of progress in the absence of education.
If we're uneducated and blind
Highlights the hindrance caused by ignorance and blindness.
They been trying to divide us
Repeats the theme of attempts to divide people.
Take away who stood beside us
Reemphasizes the strategy of separating allies.
And make your friend your enemy
Warns against turning friends into adversaries.
They been trying to separate us
Reiterates efforts to create distance and control.
Pacify us and sedate us
Reiterates the attempt to pacify and numb the population.
But we know they're the enemy
Affirms awareness of those working against freedom.
We want to be free
Restates the collective desire for freedom.
