LYRICS
Casual nods
Mumbled hellos
Neighbours, strangers
Heads, low
Uniform walkways
Stacked up floors
Anonymous windows
Safety-chained doors
CCTV around the clock
Loneliness is a mottled concrete block
Next door’s dinner, a tempting invader
Enticing aroma with no invitation
Muffled voices tuck in through the wall
Isolation is an unanswered call
Take your time to understand
Anonymous faces tagged and scanned
Hyperconnected but still
Unseen and unheard
Take your time to understand
Alienation across the land
Fraught and frustrated but now
They won’t be ignored
When we are united
Our strength is second to none
It’s hard to be divided
Bound together as one
Seated at the table
Our voices will be heard
Walking our paths
With respect that we deserve
We will not be ignored
We will not live in silence
We will not hide in fear
We’re proud and defiant
We are the light
We hold the power
We are the light
We hold the power
Assembled outsiders
Travellers and dreamers
Born and bred locals
Underdogs and queers
A spectrum of lifestyles
Beliefs and religions
Community is a symphony of opinion
Take your time to understand
Anonymous faces tagged and scanned
Hyperconnected but still
Unseen and unheard
Take your time to understand
Alienation across the land
Fraught and frustrated but now
They won’t be ignored
When we are united
Our strength is second to none
It’s hard to be divided
Bound together as one
Seated at the table
Our voices will be heard
Walking our paths
With respect that we deserve
We will not be ignored
We will not live in silence
We will not hide in fear
We’re proud and defiant
We are the light
We hold the power
We are the light
We hold the power
Hyperconnected but still
Unseen and unheard
Hyperconnected but still
Unseen and unheard
When we are united
Our strength is second to none
We are the light
It’s hard to be divided
Bound together as one
We hold the power
Seated at the table
Our voices will be heard
We are the light
Walking our paths
With respect that we deserve
We hold the power
