We Will Last Forever
Eternal Resilience: Rise to Remain's Anthem of Defiance
Lyrics
The revolution comes alive
The moment of change or transformation is happening.
Now its time to take a side
A call to choose a stance or position.
Who are you?
Questioning identity and allegiance.
With bombs falling from the mouths of the lord's in seat
People in power speaking destructively.
When every day comes forth to claim the weak
Every day challenges those who are vulnerable.
I won't listen, I won't listen
Refusal to heed negative influences.
When we're face down, reveling in mess we've made
Facing consequences of collective actions.
When city walls transform into a cage
Feeling trapped by societal structures.
We aren't victims, we aren't victims
Rejecting the victim mentality.
So hear us, and know its all
An urging to pay attention because...
A promise, to overcome
...there's a commitment to conquer challenges.
They strive for control but they won't take our lives away
Resistance against efforts to control lives.
I've realized, that you are the only one who feels
A realization that someone specific understands.
Your changing life
Their experience is in constant flux.
Your situation does not dictate who you are,
External circumstances don’t define one's essence.
Or who you become in this world
Who they become is not solely dictated by the world.
When all hope seems to far out of reach,
During moments of despair or difficulty.
When all the fools want to judge and preach
Others rush to criticize and sermonize.
Remember truly, who's still with you
A reminder of true allies in challenging times.
Stand tall in your solidarity,
To stand firm in unity and purpose.
And as one there is immortality,
Unity ensures a kind of everlasting existence.
For you are defined, by the life you leave behind
Legacy is shaped by actions in life.
So hear us, and know its all
Reiteration of the earlier urging.
A promise, to overcome
A reaffirmation of commitment to triumph.
They strive for control but they won't take our lives away
Resisting attempts to snatch away autonomy.
We've opened up the sky,
Achievement of a significant feat.
We are the warriors,
Identification as fighters in a cause.
With a halo of embers everlasting in our hearts,
An enduring symbol of determination within.
We will fight on together,
A pledge to continue fighting collectively.
We will last forever
Belief in an everlasting impact.
