Hold the Line
We’ve been
pushing so long
Our bones
are starting to push back
Decades of
resistance
Centuries
of struggle
Truth be
told
Millennia
of pressure
On our
worried minds
Hold the
line
So tired
my eyes close by themselves
My back
aches my legs pulsate
My brain
screams at the endless plight
Every step
reminds me
Of the
struggle ahead
And the
struggle behind
Hold the
line
Work until
your fingers bleed
Talk until
you fold
March
until the sun rises
Watch
until you’re blind
Hold the
line
Nothing
worth achieving
Was ever
accomplished with less
Than
everything you’ve got
This is
our time
Hold the
line
No matter
how many times
They beat
us down
And
trample us
No matter
how times
They
batter us
No matter
how many times
They take
our money our homes
Our peace
of mind
Hold the
line
We will
prevail
We will
take what is rightly ours
We will
right forever wrongs
We will
stand our ground
We will
not fall behind
Hold the
line
For all
who came before us
And all
who will follow
For our
children
For
posterity
For all
that we hold dear
For peace
and prosperity
For
justice and equality
For the
good and the kind
Hold the
line
