Will you stand up now?

The revolution has begun,
In scattered whispers,
They talk of a freedom we have yet to see,
A dream we have barely dared to hope for,
And we see in your eyes,
Strength and determination,
To prove to us all,
That we have been so blind,
And we understand,
Will you stand up now?
Will we stand up now?
For ourselves,
Despite our youth,
We are not blinded,
Cynical children,
Brand us if you must,
But we will lift this flag high,
And this time,
We will fight for the right,
To speak without fear,
And lead all of us into the light.
