Give me strength
To keep soldiering on
Against the grain
Against it all
Give me strength
I look around
The power of power
How loud it sounds
Give me strength
The power of love
The power of Revolution
On sacred ground
Give me strength
The prophecy unfolds
And I wish I knew my part
Within it all

I was flailing in the ocean, drowning
Looking for anything to hold on to
I was flailing in my mind and memories
Hoping to prove that my bruises were true
All I needed was to love and be loved
All I needed was to know what love was
But I found the strength in secret cobwebs
We drown in the world’s blood, we will help us ———
I was a fool, a rebellious teen
Now I’m woman and all that I’ve been
It still belongs to the proletariat
Everything I can I still will give them
I’m not a fool, though rebellious still
Everything I am is guided by their will
So if the nobles wanna bloody it
All of my blood will fucking drown them
———
I know I’ll be crucified for these words
Jesus didn’t help me love my neighbour
The only way that I can show true love
Is by making my life fight the power
I’ve tried to force myself to get married
And to have children and all those warm things
But I’ve never wanted that kind of life
I feel in love when I’m writing something

I was a fool, a rebellious teen
Now I’m woman and all that I’ve been

Everything I am is guided by their will
So if the nobles wanna bloody it
All of my blood will fucking drown them

I will find out what the spark of life is, one day
I will find out how to heal a heart that’s broken
I will find out how to burn oppression away
I will find out how to win the revolution
All I can learn is in the children who can’t play
All I can learn is in the broken smile you make
All I can learn is in the way that the trees sway
All I can learn is in the resounding earthquake

There are secrets people have sacrificed all to keep
These are secrets all the people carry, buried deep

I want you to keep teaching things they’ve forbidden
I can’t help but hate the love I’ve been given
I know you want me in your home
But my heart it just has to roam
But I still wanna learn the secrets they’ve hidden
———
I know there is something, made from joy and from pain
I know that that something is full of hate and the rain
I know it is made of love, made from justice, beneath, above
I know there is something, made from joy and from pain

I know there is something, that flows through both of our hearts
And even if it kills me, I’ll bring to life all our parts
I know it is full of life, full of justice, within all strife
I know there is something, that flows through both of our hearts

They love individualism
They love power, their constitution
They love hiding the blood they’ve spilled
I love seeing the monarchs killed
They love blaming the heartbroken
They love all of the hate they’ve spoken
They love keeping our heads bowed
They can hurt me, I won’t be cowed
They can fill my lungs with blood
They can rain down a fire flood
But I’ll respond with a hundred times more force
More brutality, more infinity, more coarse
I’ll respond with a hundred times more force
More brutality, more infinity, more coarse

I will find that something, hiding somewhere away
I will keep the secret, away from the light of day
I will make the whole world change, make it love, unrestrained
I will find that something, hiding somewhere away
