lyrics

Now you are speaking your truth to an empty room
Packed full of people who refuse to hear your heart
Spelling out their own doom
Trying to stop you before you start
Because they know you're gonna blow their world apart

Let them hear your war cry
Let them know you're still alive
Let them hear your war cry
It's not our day to die, no!
It's not our day to die, no!
Let 'em hear that war cry

Bring back our missing sisters and watch them stand up
Let them teach us about how this world should be
If we hear their words about the hypocrisy of institutions
It'll give them wings to fly up into the clouds again

Let them hear your war cry
Let them know you're still alive
Let them hear your war cry
It's not our day to die, no!
It's not our day to die, no!
Let 'em hear that war cry

Now the bigots are looking for shelter in an empty room.
Begging for a brand-new start
Waiting for a fate that's not on their side
because this new world we build will set all their
wrong things right

Let them hear your war cry
Let them know you're still alive
Let them hear your war cry
It's not our day to die, no!
It's not our day to die, no!
Let 'em hear that war cry

It's not our day to die, no!
It's not our day to die, no!
It's not our day to die, no!
Let 'em hear that war cry
