Lyrics
[INTRO] “I’ll tell you what freedom means to me… No fear, my dear, freedom means no fear.” And if my voice should tremble, Let it ring loud and clear. [VERSE 1 — “I Had a Dream”] I had a dream we woke as one, No hearts undone, no souls outrun. A world where truths walked side by side, And no one had to run or hide. [VERSE 2 — Strong-Women] My mother said, “Stand tall, my girl, Don’t bend your fire to fit their world.” She taught me souls can crack and break, But dignity’s our own to make. [HOOK] No fear, my dear, the light inside us glows. No fear, my dear, true spirit always knows. No fear, my dear, freedom grows from our spark. No fear, my dear, bow out their goddamn dark. [VERSE 3 — Sound-as-Salvation] Some pray in halls of dust and stone, Some kneel where tired saints have gone. But I find truth in rhythm’s rise, Where basslines pull the dark to light. [VERSE 4 — Mirror of the Times] We watch the days grow mean and cold, Let’s join our hands, and break that mold. Let artists shine where lies appear, Hold a mirror against the fear. [BRIDGE] If sorrow’s got you by the throat, I’ve walked that road, I know that note. Storm winds can strip us to the bone, And still we rise, don’t feel alone. They’ll call the truth a threat, a scar, They’ll twist the past to dim a star. But breathe, my love, hold your own mark. Let freedom burn their toxic snark. [HOOK] No fear, my dear, the light inside us glows. No fear, my dear, true spirit always knows. No fear, my dear, freedom grows from our spark. No fear, my dear, bow out their goddamn dark. [OUTRO] If your voice should tremble, Let it tremble to the light. No fear, my dear, Let’s sing it through the night…
