When They See Us

When they see us
 Standing on the edge of a knife
 Don't let go
 Stand tall
 When they see us
 Standing on the edge of the night
 Let them know
 Who we are
 We're walking in the shadows
 Of yesterday's injustice
 But only when it matters
 Do they see us
 When they see us
 Standing on the side of the right
 Then you'll know
 We've won
 When they see us
 Standing in the sun, in the light
 Let them know
 Darkness is done
 We're walking in the shadows
 Of yesterday's injustice
 But only when it matters
 Do they see us
 Through the darkest night
 And through the storms that rise
 I raise my hands
 And lift up my eyes
 To a brighter day
 To a distant land
 Hold my memory
 From a boy to a man
 We're walking in the shadows
 Of yesterday's injustice
 But only when it matters
 Do they see us
 See us
