You were there, before we came
Screaming for help, crying in vain
To save your soul from the dying doom
But alas! Nobody came to you soon
We’ll no longer stand by
Watching people lose their lives
It seems as if we have no voice
It's time for us to make a choice
You were there, but never knew why
Your life was seized, but not your cry
We promise you, we’ll honor your soul
We’ll fight till the time justice is told
Only God has the right, only He can decide
Who will live and who has to die
There's nothing that cannot be done
If we all raise our voices, a billion as one
You were there, before we came
You took the hurt, you took the shame
They built the walls to block your way
You passed away, but won the day
It wasn't right, it wasn't fair
You taught us all, you made us care
Yes, you were there, and thanks to you
There's now a door we all walk through
