It's for my people, tryin' to stay alive and just stay peaceful
È per la mia gente, che cerca di restare in vita e di restare in pace
So hard to survive a world so lethal
È così difficile sopravvivere in un mondo così letale
Who will take the stand and be our hero
Chi prenderà una posizione e sarà il nostro eroe
Oh, mm
Oh, mm
