Been too many nights with no peace to hold
Fighting my battles in a world so cold
Whispers in the dark say "give it up, let go"
But I still got fire in my bones
I carry the stories of women before
Their tears are rivers that carved out my core
I sing for the ones who never found the door
But dreamed of something more
They tried to take my voice, my time
But I'm still standing, still aligned
Keep the light, don't let it fade
Through the storm, through the shade
Even when the night is long
You're the flame, you are strong
Keep the light, keep the fight
Don't let them steal your right
We are many, we are one
Keep the light until it's done
Every scar on my skin is a vow I made
To rise again, no matter how I break
They can shake my soul, but not erase
The truth I carry in my face
I was made of dust and sky
Dust and sky
I will not go quietly
Not tonight
Let them hear us when we cry
When we cry
Let them feel us when we rise
Keep the light, don't let it fade
Through the storm, through the shade
Even when the night is long
You're the flame, you are strong
Keep the light, keep the fight
Don't let them steal your right
We are many, we are one
Keep the light until it's done
And when I go, I'll still glow
