Representing All the Leaders Salute Salute
Beaten down, dragged upon the cement blocks.
Pain runs through every spot of your back.
Policemen trying to tear down the rest of who you are.
As you march, it was difficult to even make a change.
Everywhere dead bodies lay on the streets.
Being buried.
Police with their long bats hit each and every person in the protest.
Screams echo along the streets.
This is the stand for equal rights.
Arrested.
Hands raised to the sky
Scared and restless.
Trapped in jail for hours, days,...years.
Not a single word of letting go of jail and being free.
But you are still standing no matter what goes on.
Barriers can grow as high as the Burji Kalifa,
long as the world's longest bride the Danyang-Kunshan Grand.
But we never think the fight is too tough.
We are powerful in our hearts,
powerful in our soul,
clash like waves,
roar loud as we can for equal justice.
No matter who we are whether it is a different background, religion, race...
We all are humans.
We all should stand up like leaders and show our momentum to fight.
Breaking barriers isn't tough,
It takes the courage and confidence to reach your goal.
