Sound the Alarm
Sound the Alarm: Uniting for Justice & Hope
Lyrics
We are soldiers and saints
We identify as both soldiers and saints, suggesting a commitment to a spiritual cause with a sense of duty or struggle.
Marching on our way
We continue our journey, moving forward with purpose and determination.
Under light of the streets
We navigate through the illuminated parts of the city, metaphorically symbolizing righteousness or moral clarity.
With an urgent pace
We move quickly and urgently, emphasizing the importance of our mission.
We will fight to bring light
We are committed to fighting to bring enlightenment to the darkest and most troubled places.
To the darkest of places
We are resolute in our mission, willing to confront and dispel darkness.
No, we won't waste this time
We will not squander or misuse the time allotted for our purpose.
Sound the alarm for the broken
An urgent call to draw attention to and address the needs of those who are broken and suffering.
For deafening cries unspoken
We acknowledge the existence of silent, unheard cries that need attention and care.
Sound the alarm for the voiceless
A call to raise awareness for those who lack a voice and need advocacy.
Sound the alarm for the burdened
An appeal to alert others to the struggles and burdens faced by individuals in need.
For futures and dreams uncertain
Recognition of the uncertainty surrounding the futures and dreams of those in distress.
Sound the alarm for the hopeless
An urgent plea to address the needs of those who feel hopeless and lost.
To ignore and refrain
To ignore and refrain from action is to share responsibility and guilt.
Is to take the blame
A reminder that inaction implicates us in the problems faced by the city.
For a city that bleeds
A vivid description of a city suffering from injustice and hatred.
From injustice and hate
The consequences of societal issues manifesting as a city bleeding, emphasizing the urgency for change.
Sound the alarm
A repeated call to raise awareness and take action to address the pressing issues.
