We come to this like a rock to the face,
for we are governed by a dictator,
and we will face bullets,
tear gas, oppression and arrest,
and we will be beaten and tortured,
nevertheless,
and yes, we will fight,
we will fight with our lives,
and we will march in the streets,
we will march for freedom,
and we will march for democracy,
for we come to this like a rock to the face,
and amidst the damage,
and amidst the bloody and the battered,
and the hungry with nothing to eat,
and amidst the baton blows,
and under every kick and punch, we will endure,
and we will rise up from the ashes of brutality,
and though, though many will lose their lives,
we will no matter what,
replace dictatorship with democracy.
