Something Must Be Done About It

The sun beats down on this worn-out town, where dreams fade away
We’ve got heartache and heartbeats, it’s just another day
But there’s a whisper in the wind, stirring up our souls
We’re tired of waiting, going to take control

From the dusty roads to the crowded streets, it's easy to forget
The folks that bleed for justice, the debts we can't collect
With every step we're taken, the weight is getting real
A chorus of frustration, can you hear the people feel?

Oh, we’re standing on the edges, looking out at the fight
With the shadow of the silence creeping in every night
We won’t let this slip away, we’re rising like the sun
Let’s stand together now, our voices all as one

Something must be done about it, we’re done with holding back
We’ll march like thunder on this dusty track
Raise our hands up to the sky, let the stars hear our call
Something must be done about it, we’re breaking down the walls

In every barroom corner, in every heart that’s bruised
Folks are looking for the answer, the hope that won't refuse
We’ve seen too many heartaches, we’ve felt too many lies
But together we’re a river, and we’ll rise, rise, rise

One by one, we’ll rise as one, the power that’s within
In every dance and every song, there’s a fight that’s ours to win
So take my hand, and we’ll light the night, let the horns and strings entwine
Together we will change the world, in rhythm and in rhyme

Something must be done about it, we’re done with holding back
We’ll march like thunder on this dusty track
Raise our hands up to the sky, let the stars hear our call
Something must be done about it, we’re breaking down the walls

So let the music carry, let it guide our way on through
Our hearts beat strong for change, now it's time to see it through
A melody of action, a symphony of hope
Something must be done about it, together we will cope
