We were born of burning hearts We were born of burning hearts As a wave across the land, we are moving, moving This ain't no phase, the change these bodies make And the way they are Facing forward, shoulder to the stone, telling of movin' it Takes one step, it takes your voice It takes your voice saying, "I am not hearing if you are not naming it I am not stopping if you are not changing it Here are my hands let's see what they're makin'" In the morning, in the rise up There's a bridge, from all that's been In the dawning, the vines are Pushing through the pavement We were born of burning hearts We are tearing off the reigns From the ground up we will build it From the clouds above we'll rain it From the crowd up we will raise it From the ground up You hold the spade to turn new soil For the coming grace, you hold the plans And no hands but our hands will lead our children And all that will feed you is a fierce prayer, is a fierce prayer Saying, "I am not hearing if you are not naming it I am not stopping if you are not changing it Here are my hands, let's see what they're makin'" In the morning, in the rise up There's a bridge, from all that's been In the dawning, the vines are Pushing through the pavement We were born of burning hearts We are tearing off the reigns From the ground up we will build it From the clouds above we'll rain it From the crowd up we will raise it From the ground up In this life, we see so many things and Sometimes our heart may start to bleed a bit I choose this life I'm gonna lead and I must give my hands To make it In the morning, in the rise up There's a bridge, from all that's been In the dawning, the vines are Pushing through the pavement We were born of burning hearts We are tearing off the reigns From the ground up we will build it From the clouds above we'll rain it From the crowd up we will raise it From the ground up we will build it From the clouds above we'll rain it From the crowd up we will raise it From the ground up we will build it From the clouds above we'll rain it From the crowd up we will raise it From the ground up (We were born with burning hearts) From the ground up
