It’s a long time a-coming, and the cycle’s gotta break Look at all the futures that you tried to go and take We been standing in the rain through a hundred years of tears Shielding every child from your promises and fears There ain't no mercy left—we done drew the line in stone teacher leave the kids alone History is a mirror that we keep breaking down Reflecting all the scars running through this town You want us to forget where the blood used to flow Act like every march was a lifetime ago But the memory is living in the pulse of the street In the rhythm of the people when the drums start to beat We ain't asking for a favor, we ain't asking for a nod We’re taking back the birthright given by God You can bring your heavy forces, bring your cold-hearted system Every time you strike us down, another child's gonna listen It’s a long time a-coming, and the cycle’s gotta break Look at all the futures that you tried to go and take We been standing in the rain through a hundred years of tears Shielding every child from your promises and fears There ain't no mercy left—we done drew the line in stone Show me what you're working with, or leave the kids alone From the mill to the pavement From the past to the now We’re breaking up the pattern and we’re breaking down the plow No more sacrifice No more quiet grace We’re standing for the children right in front of your It’s a long time a-coming, and the cycle’s breaking here No more stealing futures, no more ruling by the fear We been standing in the rain through a hundred years of tears Guarding every child through the march of the years There ain't no mercy left—we done claimed this space Show me whos going to march with me Break the cycle For the children Show me what you're working with Ain't no mercy
