Lyrics
[Intro -- solo, slow]
Did you read them...?
All across this country...
Did you read the signs?
[Verse 1 -- simple, soulful]
From coast to coast, we wrote it down,
In every street, in every town.
"Protect our vote," "No kings," "Be free,"
Not just words--that's history.
[Pre-Chorus -- building]
And we rose up... side by side,
Eight, nine million... nationwide.
[Chorus -- CALL & RESPONSE]
(Lead)
Eight million voices--did you hear the sound?
(Choir)
We heard the sound!
(Lead)
Nine million hearts--gonna shake this ground--
(Choir)
We shake it now!
(All)
Read the signs--don't turn away,
We're not going back... not today.
[Verse 2 -- stronger]
"Hands off rights," "Truth still stands,"
Written high in steady hands.
"Justice now," "Protect the next,"
Every message clear, direct.
No single voice, no party line,
Just the will of the people... written in signs.
[Chorus -- bigger]
(Lead)
Eight million voices--did you hear the sound?
(Choir)
We heard the sound!
(Lead)
Nine million hearts--gonna shake this ground--
(Choir)
We shake it now!
(All)
Read the signs--don't turn away,
We're not going back... not today.
[Break -- CHANT ? GOSPEL FUSION]
(All, rhythmic)
No Kings! No Kings!
(No Kings! No Kings!)
This is what democracy looks like!
(This is what democracy looks like!)
Protect our vote!
(Protect our vote!)
We're still here!
(We're still here!)
[Bridge -- emotional peak, choir swells]
You can doubt it... you can try,
But you can't erase what we held high.
Hope in ink, truth in our hands,
We saw each other... across this land.
[Final Chorus -- FULL CHOIR]
Eight million voices--rising strong,
Nine million hearts saying this is wrong.
Read the signs--remember this day,
We stood together... we chose our way.
(Repeat -- softer, then build again)
We're not going back...
We're not going back...
Not today.
[Outro -- quiet, fading]
Did you read them...?
Because we wrote them...
for all to see.
