We are Fire.

[Verse 1]
They draw their lines with arrogance,
Build walls from toxic fear,
Try to pick us off in silence,
But we’re still standing here.
They want us scared and scattered,
They want our voices drowned
But every time they push one down,
Ten more rise up from the ground.
[Pre-Chorus]
We are not invisible,
We are not inconsequential—
We are a raging wildfire,
With hearts that are oh so tired.
[Chorus]
So, my friend, we must be louder.
We can leave no doubt
For them to get to one of us
They’ll have to go through all of us.
We’re the roaring noise, we’re the drum,
We're the storm and we won't hide
Be louder, my friends, be louder
We don’t break
We amplify!
We rise, we rise, we unify.
[Verse 2]
They’ve weaponized division,
They feed the fear machine,
But our truth doesn't need permission
To cut through the obscene.
God gave us hands like bridges,
He gave of voices of flame
And everyone they try to bury
We remember with a battle cry name.
[Bridge]
This is not a single solo
This is choir, this is a roar.
This is boots on pavement,
This is knocking down doors.
We can no longer be the quiet,
We can no longer be tame
We are the ones who will condemn their names
And we will set the sky aflame.
[Chorus]
So, my friend, we must be louder.
We can leave no doubt
For them to get to one of us
They’ll have to go through all of us.
We’re the roaring noise, we’re the drum,
We're the storm and we won't hide
Be louder, my friends, be louder
We don’t break
We amplify!
We rise, we rise, we unify.
[Outro – Spoken Word]
So come for one,
And you’ll find many.
Come with chains,
You'll need plenty
Because we are light
We are song.
We are fire.
To get to any of us…
You’ll have to go through all of us.
