Though much has been broken enough still survives

And through all the hardship there is a light that still shines

Gone are the days when bullets bounced from our chest

We have become who we are and fuck all the rest

Our scars they tell the stories

Our eyes still look ahead

Still so much that is burning

Defiant hearts not yet dead

Because nothing, no nothing

Is as important as this:

To seek. to rise. to fight

And to do anything but quit
