What is the strength of a tear drop?
The might of a single raised fist?
Can a ladybug climb a mountaintop?
Through the rain, will a fire persist?
A blazing sun dries the wet from our eyes
Helpless as we watch hope be monopolized
An unstoppable wind blows us down from the mountaintop
Coughing smoke, a flame withers as its heartbeat stops
A million leaves pushing against a single powerful gale
A million voices stand tall against a deafening despair
A million hands rise, one after another, and begin to scale
The mountaintop, where an inferno begins to flare
A million teardrops crash against the ground
The darkness crumples against the light of our sound
Those who were once lost have now been found
Divided they waned, united they stoked a fire that could never be drowned
Beware, for though they are small
If it's a game of winner take all
A million of them will be willing to fall
Moving towards freedom, even if they must crawl
