We're thrown to the back of the line
They won't let us inside
Though we try
With all our might
Told to read between the lines
Don't take warmly to our kind
Though we don't know why
Don't want to hide
Anymore
They hold the keys to the locked doors
And I'm crawling on all fours
Towards the light
On the other side
The solace on these shores
And the promise of something more
We must fight
For our lives
Out of the ashes we will grow
And with our calloused hands and sturdy bones
We'll build a new bridge made of stone
And walk across the river on our own
We're Not Alone
Who are you to decide
And so easily brush aside
You chide
And you lie
We're told you're supposed to unite
This is not the great divide
So we align
And we stride
Out of the ashes we will grow
And with our calloused hands and sturdy bones
We'll build a new bridge made of stone
And walk across the river on our own
Together we will build our brand new home
And strip the higher powers from their thrones
And with our mighty hammers we'll cast our blows
And watch as we rise up from below
We're not alone
