Freedom or justice
You're ignorant or you're punished
You speak up and you're silenced
But the truth don't stay quiet
People, when you open your eyes
Will you stand up?
Do you put up a fight?
I said, people, when you're closing your eyes
Won't you stand down
And ignore all the signs?
Mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters (stand up now)
Lovers, strangers, dreamers (this is for my believers)

Freedom or justice
You're ignorant or you're punished
You speak up and you're silenced
But the truth don't stay quiet
People, within your heart realize
That your complicity is why we can't get it right
I said, people, hear the child when he cries
When you think it's nothing, then we all pay the price
Lawyers, preachers, judges, teachers (stand up now)
Fires, healers (this is for my believers)

Freedom or justice
You're ignorant or you're punished
You speak up and you're silenced
But the truth don't stay quiet
War is at your door, you must pick a side
When you lose what you love, you'll be ready to fight
Ignorance isn't bliss when your life's on the line
So don't wait till it's too late, silence ends the crime
