Roger Chao - Now Lyrics

In this hallowed land downunder where change is underway
Lies a spark untamed and fierce that will not fade away
It's a flame that feeds on anger on the wrongs we can't ignore
It's a fire that fuels rebellion and a cry of something more

No chain can bind our spirits no shackle lock our might
No wall of privilege shield them no discrimination aid their flight
They trample with exclusion they wound with bias so deep
But we are the strength unbroken a promise we will keep

Through the storm we march together a relentless fearless throng
Our hearts alight with purpose our resolve forever strong
Against the tide of injustice we'll stand firm and fight
For every lost and voiceless soul until we make it right

They think us weak and weary they deem us frail and slight
But we'll show them we won't falter in this never-ending fight
Through the darkened veil of sexism through racism's hateful sneer
We'll march with heads held high no surrender and no fear

We'll break the bonds of hatred we'll shatter all that's wrong.
No more the voiceless victims; we're coming and we are strong
With hearts ablaze and minds afire we'll tear down each vile trace
Of the oppression that has held us of the shame we'll not embrace

Through the storm we march together a relentless fearless throng
Our hearts alight with purpose our resolve forever strong
Against the tide of injustice we'll stand firm and fight
For every lost and voiceless soul until we make it right

For this is not a whisper it's a shout into the night
A rallying cry of warriors a symphony full of might
It's a call to those who'll hear it a summons to be free
A battle cry of the unbowed a fight for equality

So heed this cry you mighty you keepers of the chain
Your walls are but illusions; your power is but vain
We're the tide that's ever surging we're the storm you can't subdue
We're the hope the dream the future we're the many not the few'

We'll stand for all the silenced we'll speak for those unheard
We'll fight for every soul oppressed by action and by word
We'll challenge every bigot we'll fight them to the grave
We'll be the beacon in the darkness the valiant and the brave

Let the world hear our roaring let them tremble at our song
For we are the unyielding and we'll fight with tine and prong
With a love that's fierce and fearless with a rage that's pure and right
We'll bring forth a new tomorrow a world overflowing with light

Through the storm we march together a relentless fearless throng
Our hearts alight with purpose our resolve forever strong
Against the tide of injustice we'll stand firm and fight
For every lost and voiceless soul until we make it right

Our voices will be thunderous a storm that will not cease
A tempest of determination a wind of lasting peace
Stand with us or stand aside but know that we'll not bow
We're the voice of all humanity and our time has come it's now
