Lyrics

[Verse 1] We walked toward the firing lines With heavy hearts, heavy minds Fueled with hope for a brighter day Need to look in your eyes [Pre-Chorus] Every day is another day To lay a name at your feet Holding on with the hopes of love Though my heart's filled with grief [Chorus] 'Cause we are the people darker than blue (Can't you see us rising higher?) Hold hands in love, fight on for truth (Can't you see us rising higher?) [Verse 2] We withhold the fire Though we know we can burn it down My peace is a gift to you Don't you throw it to the ground [Pre-Chorus] Every day is another day To say a name to get it right How long must we come to you? Now is the time [Chorus] 'Cause we are the people darker than blue (Can't you see us rising higher?) Hold hands in love, fight on for truth (Can't you see us rising higher?) We are the people darker than blue (Can't you see us rising higher?) Hold hands in love, fight on for truth (Can't you see us rising higher?) [Bridge] We press on, we fight on (Can't you see us rising higher?) We press on (Can't you see us rising higher?) We fight on (Can't you see us rising higher?) I know (Can't you see us rising higher?) [Chorus] I know we can make it (Can't you see us rising higher?) Oh I know, I know we can press on (Can't you see us rising higher?) Oh, I know we can fight on (Can't you see us rising higher?) We are the people darker than blue And we're gonna hold on in love Fight on for truth
