Break it down
Scäm Luiz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't quit the fight
One day you'll see
We shall be free
The truth exists and she's on the way
She'll give you the answer
Can you take the torture
The revolution inside your head
Already ate the oppression
You deal with hope, you've gotta deal with fear
Salvation is far, the evil is near
And we know – what the hell is going on
And we know – that a change has got to come
And we know – the pressure's getting too high
It's gonna burst – it's going to explode right into the sky
And we know – they can't say a word
And we know – they wanna shout
But they don't wanna get hurt
And we know – that they know the consequence
But freedom's waiting, freedom's waiting
Freedom's waiting for all of them
Stand for your right
Don't quit the fight
One day you'll see
We shall be free
We plant a tree for – liberty/equality
We plant a tree for – honesty/sincerity
We plant a tree for – to grow the key to humanity
We plant a tree for – you and me/we shall be free
