[Intro] Chairs scrape back The shutters close A cracked glass lifts And Jonah goes— [Verse 1] “We thought the shame was ours alone The missing job, the broken home Mara thought the rent was hers Nadia took every insult first Eli kept the dead inside Tom wore anger like a knife But every private wound we hid Was printed by the things they did” [Pre-Chorus] The barmaid locks the entrance tight A hundred names are read that night Street by street and floor by floor The room keeps making space for more [Chorus] We were never weak—only divided Kept in separate rooms and told to hide it We were never weak—hear the glasses ring No flag above us and no chosen king We were never weak, we were kept apart Now every locked door opens to the yard [Verse 2] One table marks the empty flats One lists medicine, coats and mats One calls drivers for the food One writes numbers for the union Bedsheets turn to hand-painted signs Cardboard cut with kitchen knives Not one party symbol stays Only names and simple claims [Pre-Chorus] No leader climbs upon a chair Each voice is heard, each task is shared The loudest anger does not rule They build a plan from borrowed tools [Chorus] We were never weak—only divided Kept in separate rooms and told to hide it We were never weak—hear the glasses ring No flag above us and no chosen king We were never weak, we were kept apart Now every locked door opens to the yard [Drum Break] Stomping floor beat and clapping crowd build the chant [Bridge] Tom says, “Give me the megaphone” Mara answers, “Not alone” Nadia says, “You walk with us You do not tell us where to go” He looks around the crowded room Then slowly puts the handle down “Fine,” he says, “Then side by side” The whole bar answers with a sound [Breakdown] Side by side Not in line No command No master sign [Build-up] One street Two streets Every tower Every shift [Final Chorus] We were never weak—only divided Now the lie is named and cannot hide us We were never weak—let the whole town sing No flag above us and no chosen king We were never weak, though the walls were high Tomorrow we will meet beneath the warning lights We were never weak—only kept apart Now every broken block is beating like one heart [Outro] The chalk moves wall to wall: “Food at six” “March at nine” “Bring water” “Leave no one behind”
