Skillet - The Resistance

I am a nation
I am a million faces formed together
Made for elevation

I am a soldier
I won't surrender
Faith is like a fire
That never burns to embers

Who's gonna stand up
Who's gonna fight
The voice of the unheard

Who's gonna break these
Chains and lies
Love is the answer

I gotta speak it, believe it
That's how I feel inside
I can't sit here quiet

You can take my heart
You can take my breath
When you pry it from my cold, dead, chest

This is how we rise up
Heavy as a hurricane
Louder than a freight train

This is how we rise up
Heart is beating faster
Feels like thunder

Magic, static, call me a fanatic
It's our world
They can never have it

This is how we rise up
It's our resistance
You can't resist us

Hey
Can you hear me?
Hey
Are you listening?

Sleeping in the shadows
Could be making history
Walk through the fire
Walk on the water
Used to be a slave
But now you are a conqueror

They can take my heart
They can take my breath
When you pry it from my cold, dead, chest

This is how we rise up
Heavy as a hurricane
Louder than a freight train

This is how we rise up
Heart is beating faster
Feels like thunder

Magic, static, call me a fanatic
It's our world
They can never have it

This is how we rise up
It's our resistance
You can't resist us

We 're rising up, up, up, up, up
We 're rising up, up, up, up, up
Rising up, up, up, up, up
We 're rising up, up, up, up, up
Love is the answer
Rising up, up, up, up, up
We 're rising up, up, up, up, up
Love is the answer

This is how we rise up
It's our resistance
You can't resist us

This is how we rise up
Heavy as a hurricane
Louder than a freight train

This is how we rise up
Heart is beating faster
Feels like thunder

Magic, static, call me a fanatic
It's our world
They can never have it

This is how we rise up
It's our resistance
You can't resist us
