Stand Tall

i can't see how we
leave behind someone in need
won't we heed their final plea
can't we see their hearts still bleed
my back won't turn
justice is the final word
this won't be a dream differed
emerge from the darkness
ummah rise

see you and i are one in the same
we feel a need to change
don't wanna blame ourselves
for a reckless lifestyle that we're living today
no peace no treaty no conversations
no pride no pity no Muslim nation
don't we got a name to protect
realize this we got Islam on our back
representing truth
how can we survive it ain't instilled in the youth
steady losing grip of the faith
remove the mask of ignorance and put on a new face
embrace a new change for the better
maybe we can see the day when we all survive together
stand tall, rise up, stand firm, stand up
be proud, unite, look in my eyes and I'll shout it out

i don't wanna see no pain no more in the eyes of innocent people
i don't wanna witness this injustice, hear no, speak no evil
cuz i feel my heart is in my throat
i don't wanna see another fall
i don't wanna take another glance
my people just stand tall
stand tall
stand tall
woah my people just stand tall

i can see the faith and hope in you
the fire in the eyes for the one who cries truth
i can see the pain
i can take the blame
i can see the troubles that we all overcame
now can you see the faith and hope in me
can you feel the fire that is soon to freeze
can you hear the screams
can you feel me breathe
can you see me prayin cuz I'm on my knees
now prayin for the day that we all can live
prayin for the day that i teach my kids
all the right and wrong
i gotta stay strong
say it one more time
my people stand tall
my people just stand tall
woah my people just stand tall

i don't wanna see no pain no more in the eyes of innocent people
i don't wanna witness this injustice, hear no, speak no evil
cuz i feel my heart is in my throat
i don't wanna see another fall
i don't wanna take another glance
my people just stand tall
stand tall
stand tall
woah my people just stand tall
stand tall
stand tall
woah my people just stand tall

i can't see how we
leave behind someone in need
won't we heed their final plea
can't we see their hearts still bleed
my back won't turn
justice is the final word
this won't be a dream differed
emerge from the darkness
ummah rise

i don't wanna see no pain no more in the eyes of innocent people
i don't wanna witness this injustice, hear no, speak no evil
cuz i feel my heart is in my throat
i don't wanna see another fall
i don't wanna take another glance
my people just stand tall
stand tall
stand tall
woah my people just stand tall
my people just stand tall
