lyrics

won’t give in
(Sonia Tetlow)

When the world starts to close its heart and I don’t know what to do
I won’t give in, I won’t give in
When all our hopeful journeys go from promise to the blues
I won’t give in, I won’t give in

‘cause I believe
there’s more of us than them
who believe
that we all have the right to live in our different skins

And when family turns on family and friendships grow thin
I won’t give in, I won’t give in
And when voters act like henchmen and muppets mask as men
I won’t give in, I won’t give in

‘cause I believe
there’s more of us than them
who believe
that we all have the right to live in our different skins

And when the mighty wield their heavy swords with hollow words and disregard
And people bow and pray to hate that their righteous rage will make them great
And everyone is on the take except the fools with the most at stake
Who sold their souls to a fraud and fake who gives not one damn about their sorry sakes
And all around the world the heads still shake in disbelief at our mistake and fearful now that it’s too late

but I believe
there’s more of us than them
who believe
that we all have the right to live in our different skins

So for Malcolm and Martin and Rosa and John
I won’t give in, I won’t give in
For Harriet and Susan and Eleanor and Gloria and Tarana and Ruth
I won’t give in, I won’t give in
For Adrienne and Audre and Alice and Toni and Zora and Muriel
I won’t give in, I won’t give in
And for Michael and Eric and Breonna and Ahmed and George
I won’t give in, I won’t give in
I won’t give in, I won’t give in
I won’t give in
