My whole life I knew I would never be safe
My whole life they just laughed and said "boys will be boys"
But then you rose up and you set me free
And I believed you, I believed I was safe for once
But now I know that you weren't true
Now I know that you weren't true
Because you let my sisters fall
You denied their blood and shame
And what you'll do to one, you'll do to all of us
What you'll do to one you'll do to all of us
Whoo ooo ooo ooo
When we fall, we fall together
Ooo ooo ooo
When we rise, we rise as one
Ooo ooo ooo
When we fall, we fall together
Ooo oo oo
When we rise, we rise as one
I saw your beaten body, centuries of pain
Echos of denial flood my heart with shame
I ask of you my sister, shake off this illusion
We cry to our ancestors, set our sisters free
Whoo ooo ooo ooo
When we fall, we fall together
Ooo ooo ooo
When we rise, we rise as one
Ooo ooo ooo
When we fall, we fall together
Ooo ooo ooo
When we rise, we rise as one
