But the power of the righteous is growing all the time. They try to build [music] their towers high and lock us in the dark, but they can never take away the [music] everlasting spark. From the alleys to the valleys, we [music] are walking hand in hand, spreading words of freedom. Oh, all across the trouble land. Even when the storm is raging and the concrete walls are tall, stand up [music] straight and face the wind. You never WILL FAR RISE UP. My people, don't you [music] give up the fight.

Feeling like the heavy race has only just begun.
The system wants [music] to weigh you down, make you lose your mind.
But there's a beautiful [music] horizon that we're going to find.
Every day a different struggle. Every night a [music] prayer.
Looking for a little justice flowing in the air. [music] They try to build their concrete walls to block the open [music] view.
But they can never stop the spirit growing inside of you.
Even when the stormy [music] river starts to rise and swell, keep your feet [music] upon the rock and everything is well. Hold on to the light, my brother.
>> Do not fear. [music] Wipe away the heavy shadow and the lonely fear. Stand firm like a tree beside [music] the living stream.

But I can hear the righteous rhythm in [music] their marching feet.

Money [music] cannot buy the peace that sits within your soul.
How can [music] I fix the heart to make it clean and whole?
So let the music lift you up and carry you away [music] onto a brighter day.
Hold on to the light, [music] my brother. Do not fear. Wipe away the heavy shadow and [music] the lonely tears. Stand firm like a tree beside a living stream.

Feel [music] a warm ground beneath our tried feet.
The world is turning, [music] but the system is caught. Sailing out the stories that I've always been told, but they can never lock the [music] spirit in the cage. We are riding freedom on a brand new page. Through the stormy weather, through the pouring rain, we will stand together. [music] We will break the chain.
Truth is shining through the darkest night. [music] Keep the inner fire. Burning hot and bright.

But [music] the truth is singing through the system town. Rhythm in the city beating [music] like a drum back. Tell the weary people that the morning has come. No more crying in the dark. Come home looking back. We are moving forward [music] on the righteous track. Can you feel the power? Can you feel the light?
