Moving Forward
As Bold As Lions Lyrics

Look around you. We are this city
We are an integral part of this city, and its wellbeing is our responsibility

And it's time to take it back
It is time to take back our city from the forces that have destablised it

Take back the night from the enemy
Fight against the enemies that endanger our safety and steal our peace at night

Who came to steal kill and destroy
The forces that threaten our peace have come to steal, kill, and destroy our happiness

Take up the fight, for those pushed under
Stand up for those who have been pushed down or oppressed by the enemies of our city

And help them up for air
Assist those who have been suffocated and drowned by the injustices around them

We seek nothing less than victory
We strive for nothing less than complete victory and triumph over the forces that are against us

Than Victory
Our ultimate goal is to achieve victory

And I ask you, will you join us?
And I humbly ask if you will stand with us and fight for the common good

There is a sickness that eats away
There is a deadly sickness that corrodes and destroys our very being

At every one of us
This sickness affects every single one of us, regardless of who we are or where we come from

There is a cure, a Name Above All Else
We have the solution to this sickness, and it is the Name Above All Else

Who came not to bring peace, but to bring a sword
The solution to this sickness is not a peaceful solution, but rather a powerful and decisive solution

Take up The Cross and follow me
Follow me and take up the struggle to fight the sickness that is destroying us

Those who find their life will stand to lose it
Those who prioritize and cling to their lives are bound to lose them in the end

And those who lose their life for My sake will find it
Those who sacrifice their lives for a greater cause will find true meaning and purpose

I will abandon myself, and flee to the arms of You
I will relinquish my ego and take refuge in the arms of a higher power

So I can know your purpose for each day
In doing so, I will be able to comprehend and fulfill the purpose of each day

With honor and hope I will serve, the greater purpose
I will serve a larger, higher purpose with honor and hope in my heart

Forsaking my past and the things that You have forgotten
I will renounce my past and the things that have been forgotten by my higher power

We bow down and give You our hearts,
We humbly surrender and offer our hearts to a higher power

And the key to this city
We entrust the destiny and prosperity of our city to this higher power

And only by Your Grace, are our sins forgotten
Only through the grace of this higher power can our sins be absolved and forgotten

We are set free
We are liberated from the chains of our past and our mistakes

Only by Your Grace we are set free
This freedom is only possible through the grace of a higher power

Only by Your Grace we will take this city
Our success in taking back the city rests solely on the grace of a higher power
