Christopher Smith - We Are Determined lyrics

[ABOLITIONIST ENSEMBLE] It begins in the dark Whispering voices strike the spark Which becomes the flame of a change, of a turning Of the few who dare To break the chains our brothers must bear For we are determined to live and to die For the freedom of those that our nation denies So one day, their voices will roar like the sea When they breathe free [TYLER] Now we must search deep inside For the courage to decide Is this worth our lives? Can we live with the knowledge that we could not bear To break the chains our consciences wear [ALL] For we are determined to live and to die For the freedom of those that our nation denies So one day, their voices will roar like the sea When they breathe free [Mary joins] Someday we will discover what we can become When at last we atone for these things we have done For there, in that moment, our own chains will fall When we heed this call We will heed this call
