Refusal

GO!

Sister!
I won't let you go
I won't let them take you
into the silence of a past divided
Brother!
keep teaching the power
we only move together
away from the past that made us fall apart

I!
Refuse to run! And I!
Will die before I kneel
in this life
I!
Refuse to run! And I!
Will die before I kneel
in this life

Systems!
of profits we punish
with love as our weapon
and unity
unity rebirth in fire

I!
Refuse to run! And I!
Will die before I kneel
in this life
I!
Refuse to run! And I!
Will die before I kneel
in this life

Are we crucified?!
we defend our birthright
equality betrayed
and every hour a voice is lost
but every rage defies the cost
embrace the whole world as your kin
truth to truth and skin to skin
Begin!

I!
searching for an
end to the [bad word] reactions
another way to separate us
and end to the [bad word] of separation
another way to keep us from truth

I!
Refuse to run! And I!
Will die before I kneel
NO MORE!
I!
Refuse to run! And I!
Will die before I kneel
NO MORE!
