Don't Wait Up

I'll never forget that fateful day
Or the tears that filled up my eyes
He said I can't breathe and called out for his mother
And they let him die, they just let him die
Murderers! I screamed to no one (someone listen) With fist of rage and broken heart (someone care)
Then something snapped when I heard the voices calling

To come alive and make it right

I wanna be the first in line, the last to leave
Fist in the air and out in the streets
Don't wait up for me tonight

No Justice, No Peace rang through the night
The fires raged as our hearts aligned
No turning back and there's nowhere to hide
From the rising tide, this revolution's alive

With songs of pain raised to the surface (someone listen)
Defiant voices bold and bright (someone care)
This is the anthem of a new generation
Who won't lay down and die without a fight

So tonight we stand and fight

I wanna be the first in line, the last to leave
Fist in the air and out in the streets
Don't wait up for me tonight

Oh I won't be silent anymore
This is my anthem, this is war
A binding promise from my heart to yours
I won't be silent anymore

I wanna be the first in line, the last to leave
Fist in the air and out in the streets
Don't wait up for me tonight
I wanna be the first in line, the last to leave
Fist in the air and out in the streets
Don't wait up for me tonight
Tonight
