You can`t hurt us anymore
So just get away
All you've ever done is push us down
And try to make us stay

But now we`re rising up
Up against the pain
The odds were always against us
But now everything`s changed

We have strength in numbers
Even though we didn't see it before
Now we`re taking a stand
And our strength will rock you to the core

We will decide who we are
You`ll no longer tear us apart
Your opinions won`t define us
You don`t know what`s in our hearts

We used to fall down
But now we can see
That we can`t stand up
Until I becomes: We
