Let us rise up and break the chains,
Of racism that still remains.
It's time to heal the wounds of the past,
And build a world that's free at last.
We'll stand together, hand in hand,
And make a stand across this land.
No more division, no more hate,
We'll embrace diversity and celebrate.
Let's break down barriers, tear down walls,
And rise above the prejudices that still enthrall.
We'll look beyond the color of skin,
And see the person that lies within.
We'll speak out against injustice and hate,
And let love conquer before it's too late.
Our voices will rise, our hearts will sing,
As we build a world that's free from racism's sting.
Let us embrace our differences,
And unite in the face of ignorance.
We'll walk together, side by side,
And create a world that we can all abide by.
So let us rise up and break the chains,
Of racism that still remains.
It's time to heal, it's time to love,
And build a world that's free above.
We dream of freedom from the chains of hate,
From the bonds of racism that suffocate.
We long for a world where every skin tone,
It is valued, respected, and fully known.
We've been oppressed, our spirits bruised,
Our lives were devalued, and our voices refused.
But now is the time to rise above,
And fight for the freedom to be loved.
We'll break the chains of discrimination,
And rise up to embrace a new generation.
One where color is celebrated,
And all of humanity is elevated.
Let's lift each other up; let's be strong,
Let's rise above the hate and end this wrong.
Together we'll stand, hand in hand,
And create a world that's truly grand.
We'll educate, we'll advocate, we'll speak out,
We'll shout from the rooftops; we'll never doubt.
That freedom from racism is within our reach,
And we'll keep fighting until we breach.
So let's stand up tall, let's make a change,
Let's break down the barriers; let's rearrange.
Let's build a world where love is king,
And freedom from racism is the ordinary.
