There Were Tears
Imany Lyrics

There were tears and fears even in my dreams
The struggles and anxieties I face are so overwhelming that they even find their way into my subconscious while I sleep.

The sound of my wound and my inner scream
The pain I feel is so intense that it echoes like a scream within my very soul.

They chained my legs, but I've been always free
My physical body may be restrained, but my spirit remains free and unbroken.

I always do even on my knees
Even when I am brought to my lowest point, I refuse to give up or surrender.

There were no begin, there were no please
I was never given a choice or a chance to avoid the circumstances that have led me to where I am now.

I always knew blood could be the price of peace
I have always understood that sometimes, in order to achieve true peace and justice, sacrifices must be made, even if it means shedding blood.

Sons and daughters, here I am
To all those who come after me, I stand here before you as a guiding light, ready to lead by example.

You can knock knock knock knock on my door
Don't hesitate to seek me out and ask for my help. I am here to support and encourage you.

Be no laughters, here I am
This is not a time for humor or levity. I am serious and fully committed to our shared cause.

Don't stop fighting 'till some hearts start bleeding
We cannot give up until the wounds caused by injustice and inequality have been healed. We must continue to fight for what is right, no matter the cost.

Don't stop fighting while they keep on lying
Those who seek to oppress us will continue to use whatever means they have at their disposal, including lies and deceit. We must not let their deception distract us from our purpose.

Truth never lies, they will fall apart
The truth will always come to light, and those who rely on falsehoods and misinformation will ultimately fail.

Empty pages and written stories, then no areas of the memories
Our history and experiences cannot be erased or forgotten. They are an integral part of who we are and what we stand for.

Poor can be poor, they preach we were no man
Those in positions of power often seek to perpetuate the idea that certain groups of people are inherently inferior or unworthy. We must reject this false narrative and stand up for our own worth and dignity.

I will be defined through their eyes
Everything we do and say will be judged by those who seek to control and oppress us. We must remain true to ourselves and not let others define us.

Check another hope, least we are alike
Even if we come from different backgrounds and have different experiences, we share a common purpose and the hope for a better future.

Freedom is in your mind
True freedom comes from within, and cannot be taken away by anyone or anything.

One must fallen truth will fall down
When one lie or falsehood is exposed, the entire facade built upon it will crumble.

There is no justice, there won't be no peace
Without true justice and equality, peace will always be out of reach.

Here I am, here I am
I am present and accounted for, ready to stand with you in solidarity and fight for what is right.
