The First Drop I'm calling out Only echoes respond But I scream 'til my voice is gone Crouching in corners and hiding your face I'm sick and tired of playing your games I'm not alone I stand amongst the voiceless Millions in the unforgiving sun
Here arm-in-arm We parade these streets And sing our songs (and sing our songs)
We've had enough Is there even anything left to explain? (We've had enough) Am I really someone you need to restrain? (We've had enough) Can't you listen to what we have to say? (We've had enough)
Unknowing, we lie and wait for the rain To wash away what they have made Face down in the dirt with your foot on my back In the distance I hear thunder crack
C'mon Stand up !
This system of power and privilege is about to come to an end Here come the clouds The first drop is falling down (falling down)
We've had enough Is there even anything left to explain? (We've had enough) Am I really someone you need to restrain? (We've had enough) Can't you listen to what we have to say? (We've had enough)
Our futures burn in red horizons Ashes scattered in winds of change Casualty numbers are rising Now it's time to raise the stakes
We're meant for something more than living just to put food on our plates I can't help but wonder--why should we participate?
We've had enough Is there even anything left to explain? (We've had enough) Am I really someone you need to restrain? (We've had enough) Can't you listen to what we have to say? (We've had enough)
