Somebody's hurting my brother & it’s gone on far too long

Gone on far too long, gone on far too long

Somebody's hurting my brother & it’s gone on far too long

And we won’t be silent anymore

Songleader calls:
Somebody’s hurting my sisters & it’s…
Somebody's hurting my neighbors...
Somebody's hurting our children...
Somebody’s poisoning our waters…
Somebody’s ignoring the homeless…
Somebody's building a wall...
Somebody's hurting my people...

Listen here

each line echos

We have been burned
Burned by the fire
And we are ashes
Ashes and smoke

But we will rise
Higher and higher
On the wings of compassion
Justice and hope

Listen here

This is for our neighbors who are locked inside
Together, we will, abolish I.C.E

Listen here

We have come too far we can't turn around
We'll flood the streets with justice
We are freedom bound

Listen here  

Forget your perfect offering (Forget your perfect offering)
Just ring the bells that still can ring (Just ring the bells that still can ring)
There is a crack in everything (There is a crack in everything)
That’s how (That’s how) The light (The light)
Gets in (That’s how the light gets in)
That’s how (That’s how) The light (The light)
Gets in (That’s how the light gets in)

Listen here

Count me in, I’m here to lend a hand, whoa-o-o
Count me in, I’m here to protect this land
Count me in, I’m here to help make it right, whoa-o-o
Count me in, I’m here to shine a light

Listen here

The rain don't negotiate
The wind don't negotiate
The fire don't negotiate
Oh no the climate don't negotiate

Hurricanes don't negotiate
Tornados don't negotiate
Smoke don't negotiate
Oh no the climate don't negotiate

No pueden encarcelarnos a todas // They cannot imprison us all

Call & Response:

No person is illegal // Nadie es ilegal

On this stolen land // En la tierra robada

They try and separate us // Intentan separarnos

But we will fight as one // Lucharemos juntos

They want to take the dreamers // Quieren romper los sueños

Suffocate imagination // Ahogar inspiración

You’re welcome as you are // Te queremos como sos

Fly high and paint the sky // Vuela alto y pinta el cielo

Migration is not a crime // Migrar no es un crimen

Trans rights are human rights // Los derechos trans son derechos humanos

Let Gaza live

We will not be silenced in the face of government violence

Ni una mas

Listen here

We rise, humbly hearted

Rise, won’t be divided

Rise, with spirit to guide us

Rise

[Chorus]

In hope, in prayer, we find ourselves here

In hope, in prayer, we’re right here

In hope, in prayer, we find ourselves here

In hope, in prayer, we’re right here

We rise, all of the children

Rise, elders with wisdom

Rise, ancestors surround us

Rise

[Chorus]

We rise, up from the wreckage

Rise, with tears and with courage

Rise, fighting for life

Rise

[Chorus]

All lines are Call and Response - 

Mama, mama, can’t you see

This is an emergency

Mama, mama, tell me why

Why our people gotta die

Mama, mama, can’t you see

What the state has done to me

Took away my clean air

Now I can’t live anywhere

Mama, mama, can’t you see

What the state has done to me

Took away my clean water

And the planet’s getting hotter

Mama, mama, can’t you see

What the state has done to me

Putting profit over health

While billionaires double their wealth
