In the streets, their voices rise high
Underneath the tear-stained skies
Echoes of a struggle long overdue
For justice, for change, for what's true
History repeats, but they won't stand still
Together they march, against the uphill
With every step, they sing their song
For the rights that have been denied for too long
Black lives matter, hear their cry
Through the pain, they'll testify
In the face of hate, they'll rise above
With love and unity, they'll fight for love
From Ferguson to Minneapolis
Injustice burns, they won't dismiss
The names of those they've lost, engraved in their hearts
Their stories fuelling their fire, igniting their sparks
Through the darkest nights, they'll light the way
With hope as their compass, they'll find the day
Together they stand, hand in hand
For a future where equality will finally stand
Black lives matter, hear their cry
Through the pain, they'll testify
In the face of hate, they'll rise above
With love and unity, they'll fight for love
Silence is no longer an option
They'll break down every wall and obstruction
With courage in their hearts, they'll persist
For a world where every voice is heard and every soul is kissed
Black lives matter, hear their cry
Through the pain, they'll testify
In the face of hate, they'll rise above
With love and unity, they'll fight for love
In the struggle for justice, they'll never tire
For the dream of equality, they'll always aspire
Black lives matter, loud and clear
Until every voice is equal, they'll persevere.
