The Resistance

Lyrics

[Intro: John Cooper] Oh, oh [Verse 1: John Cooper & Jen Ledger & Both] (I) Am a nation, (I) am a million faces Formed together, made for elevation (I) Am a soldier, (I) won't surrender Faith is like a fire that never burns to embers (Who's gonna stand up, who's gonna fight?) The voice of the unheard (Who's gonna break these chains and lies?) Love is the answer I gotta speak it, believe it, that's how I feel inside I (I) can't (Can't) sit here quiet [Pre-Chorus: Jen Ledger, John Cooper & Jen Ledger] You can take my heart, you can take my breath When you pry it from my cold, dead chest [Chorus: John Cooper, John Cooper & Jen Ledger] This is how we rise up Heavy as a hurricane, louder than a freight train This is how we rise up Heart is beating faster, feels like thunder Magic, static, call me a fanatic It's our world, they can never have it This is how we rise up It's our resistance, you can't resist us [Post-Chorus: John Cooper] Oh, oh [Verse 2: John Cooper] (Hey) Can you hear me? (Hey) Are you listening? Sleeping in the shadows, could be making history (Walk) Through the fire, (Walk) on the water Used to be a slave, but now you are a conqueror [Pre-Chorus: Jen Ledger, John Cooper & Jen Ledger] They can take my heart, they can take my breath When they pry it from my cold, dead chest [Chorus: John Cooper, John Cooper & Jen Ledger] This is how we rise up Heavy as a hurricane, louder than a freight train This is how we rise up Heart is beating faster, feels like thunder Magic, static, call me a fanatic It's our world, they can never have it This is how we rise up It's our resistance, you can't resist us [Bridge: John Cooper & Jen Ledger] Rising up, up, up, up, up (Oh) We're rising up, up, up, up, up (The voice of the unheard) Rising up, up, up, up, up (Oh) We're rising up, up, up, up, up (Love is the answer) Rising up, up, up, up, up We're rising up, up, up, up, up (Love is the answer) [Breakdown: John Cooper] This is how we rise up It's our resistance, you can't resist us [Chorus: John Cooper, John Cooper & Jen Ledger] This is how we rise up Heavy as a hurricane, louder than a freight train This is how we rise up Heart is beating faster, feels like thunder Magic, static, call me a fanatic It's our world, they can never have it This is how we rise up It's our resistance, you can't resist us [Post-Chorus: John Cooper] Oh, oh [Instrumental Outro]
