Let Us In
Written by Emily Strong
BLACK LIVES MATTER. BLACK LIVES MATTER.
BLACK LIVES MATTER. BLACK LIVES MATTER.
This is a protest song. Let Us In demands power to the people and was written inspired by the grassroots movements taking place in the United States and around the world, such as BLM, Occupy Wall Street, Bernie Sander's presidential campaign, and Greta Thunberg's fight to save our planet Earth!
"We know what we need, now it's our turn to lead"
"We know what we need, now it's our time!"
lyrics
Oooh
It's time to go
They keep on telling us so
What if we put up a fight?
What if finally we're right?
Oooh
Let us in
When we come again
It'll be on our terms
If we begin
Show me you're listening
This is fair warning
This is fair warning
Oooh
Today
She thought
What if tomorrow we're not
Allowed to find a new way
Could we have changed that yesterday?
Oooh
Let us in
When we come again
It'll be on our terms
When we begin
Show me you're listening
This is fair warning
This is fair warning
This is our chance
We can't delay
Next generation's left to pay
So stand together
Voices loud!
Let's take back our planet
United strength from the ground!
Let us in
When we come again
It'll be on our terms
When we begin
Show me you're listening
This is fair warning
This is fair warning
We know what we need
Now it's our turn to lead
We know what we need
Now it's our time
We know what we need
Now it's our turn to lead
We know what we need
Now it's our time
We know what we need
Now it's our turn to lead
(Let us in)
We know what we need
Now it's our time
(Let us in)
We know what we need
Now it's our turn to lead
(Let us in)
We know what we need
Now it's our time!
