Chords

[Verse 1]
      Am                        F
They say it's for safety, they say it's for peace,

          C                        E7
But I’ve seen this before and the lies never cease.

 Am                       F
Walls rising higher, freedoms torn apart,

    C                        E7
The echoes of history weigh heavy on my heart.
[Verse 2]
     Am                  F
My grandmother’s voice whispers through time,

         C                            E7
From the ashes of Auschwitz to these modern day crimes.

             Am                  F
She said, “Child, remember what silence allows—

   C                            E7
Speak up and fight back, don’t lower your brows.”
[Chorus]
 F                    C
Never again will we stand by and see,

     F                          C        G
The march of oppression cloaked in liberty.

    F                        C
We carry the scars. Oh, and we bear the flame,

      Am            F            E7              Am
For those who were silenced, we shout out their names.

[Verse 3]
      Am                       F
They target the weak and they rewrite the rules,

 C                            E7
Turning back clocks in their halls and schools.

  Am                     F
Erasing diversity under banners of hate,

        C                           E7
But we cant, no we won’t let them dictate our fate.
[Verse 4]
    Am                           F
My father’s tears fall like the rain on my skin,

    C                        E7
He warned me of leaders who weaponize sin.

           Am                     F
He said, “Justice is fragile; it bends to the strong—

     C                                E7
But resistance can transform what’s broken to song.”
[Chorus]
 F                    C
Never again will we stand by and see,

     F                          C        G
The march of oppression cloaked in liberty.

    F                       C
We carry the scars. Oh, and we bear the flame,

      Am            F            E7              Am
For those who were silenced, we shout out their names.
[Bridge]
 Dm                       Am
Generations rise up with fists in the air,

       Dm                     Am
From ghettos to borders—this fight’s everywhere.

     Dm                   Am
The lessons of history scream from our veins:

  E7                      E7
Freedom is fragile; it’s never in chains.

[Outro]
    F                    Am
So listen up now as we stand and defend—

 F                          Am
Don’t be complacent. Don’t turn on your friends.

       F                          Am
We’ll take to the streets as we stand and defend.

 E7                          Am
This is our promise: Never again.

 E7                          Am
This is our promise: Never again.
