Brothers and sisters
They may break your bones
They can bury your body
But only release your soul
They may build you a prison
Never cage your mind
Insist you're nothing
Never believe that lie
You're too free, you're too proud
Shine too bright, speak too loud
For when they come to cut you down
That's when you've gotta stand your ground
When they bury our dreams
We push them up through concrete
We're growin' where they can't see
These roots run deep
Because we are seeds
When we rise up
No weapon can stop us
No wall can block us
No, hate can't stop love
We are seeds
Mothers and fathers
Ancestors of this earth
Bring us strength and wisdom
Teach your children what they're worth
Armed with truth and mercy
They won't fall to anyone (Anyone)
Standin' on our shoulders
Reachin' for the sun
When they bury our dreams
We push them up through concrete
We're growin' where they can't see
These roots run deep
Because we are seeds
When we rise up
No weapon can stop us
No wall can block us
No, hate can't stop love
We are seeds
We are seeds
The battle is now
And we are the army
Said the battle is now
We are the army
The battle is now
We are the army
I said the battle is now
It's now, it's now, right now
When they bury our dreams
We push them up through concrete
We're growin' where they can't see
These roots run deep
Because we are seeds
When we rise up
No weapon can stop us
No wall can block us
No, hate can't stop love
We are seeds (Yes, we are)
We are seeds
We are seeds
