Chorus: Right before our eyes, right before our eyes
Governments fall and the people rise
Here beneath these skies, hear the people’s cries
Justice for all, and the people rise

We are watching history unfold
And a new world grows out of the old
Fear is shattered, courage fills the air
Sparks are flying, catch them if you dare

Years of struggle lead to this one day
This one moment when the people say
“We are marching though the road is long,
We are many, though you fight us, we stand strong”

Hungry eyes are looking to you now
Taking to the streets and learning how
To rise above the suffering and fears
Forge the dreams strengthened by our tears
