Take It Back


(Verse 1)

We’ve been standin’ in the shadows, lost in the noise

Forgotten by the leaders, left with no choice

They sold us out for silver, left us in the dust

But the power’s in the people, in the hands of us

(Pre-Chorus)

We’ve got a fire that you can’t tame

A rebel spirit in our veins

It’s time to rise, break the chains

We’re taking back our names

(Chorus)

We’re gonna take it back, back to the streets

Where every voice matters, every heart beats

We’ll shake the ground, make a sound,

For the lost and the found

We’re taking back our pride, taking back control

Hand in hand, every rock and roll soul

This land, this fight, it’s time we unite

We’re taking it back tonight

(Verse 2)

They tried to keep us quiet, they tried to keep us weak

But there’s thunder in our voices every time we speak

From the heartland to the city, across the red and blue

We’re waking up the people, standing up for truth

(Pre-Chorus)

With our guitars like rifles, drums like thunder rolls

The rhythm of rebellion pounding in our souls

We’re a nation on a mission, rising like the dawn

For every right they stole, for everyone gone

(Chorus)

We’re gonna take it back, back to the streets

Where every voice matters, every heart beats

We’ll shake the ground, make a sound,

For the lost and the found

We’re taking back our pride, taking back control

Hand in hand, every rock and roll soul

This land, this fight, it’s time we unite

We’re taking it back tonight

(Bridge)

It’s not left, it’s not right, it’s about what’s true

A country built by me, by her, by you

Raise your hands, raise your voice, let ‘em hear the sound

The people have awakened, we’re battleground bound

(Chorus)

We’re gonna take it back, back to the streets

Where every voice matters, every heart beats

We’ll shake the ground, make a sound,

For the lost and the found

We’re taking back our pride, taking back control

Hand in hand, every rock and roll soul

This land, this fight, it’s time we unite

We’re taking it back tonight

(Outro)

Yeah, we’re taking it back

No more lies, no more fear

The power’s in the people, that’s crystal clear

With the fire in our souls, and a flag held high

We’re taking it back, till the day we die
