[Intro: Mikhala Jené]
Ooh-ooh, oh
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Ooh-oh
Ooh-oh
Oh

[Verse 1: Mikhala Jené]
Sons and daughters, raging waters are rising up
Bringing tyranny to an end
No more time to pretend (Oh-oh)
No repeating, no conceding
The reality is none of us can really say we're equal
'Til we take the pen and write the sequel

[Pre-Chorus: Mikhala Jené]
'Cause we all got a story fighting for our glory and peace (Glory and peace)
No matter your color, religion, your lover, or creed (Lover or creed)
'Cause we all gotta rewrite what isn't right, oh (Oh-oh)
Can't discriminate nor eliminatе our light

[Chorus: Mikhala Jené]
We are the promisе fighting to set us free (Set us free)
King had a dream that we've gotta keep
Love is the root of humanity
We are the promise, no matter your point of view
We are the future, we'll see it through
It all starts with me and you
We are the promise, promise, promise (Yeah)
We are the promise, promise, promise
(Woah, oh)

[Verse 2: Mikhala Jené]
Look around, every one of us is in between
But love it holds us and overtakes the ones who won't
Rejected ones are the cornerstone
We're rebuilding on the precipice
Of tearing down all your prejudice
Gonna triumph over malevolence
Equality's our inheritance

[Pre-Chorus: Mikhala Jené]
'Cause we all got a story fighting for our glory and peace (Glory and peace)
No matter your color, religion, your lover, or creed (Lover or creed)
'Cause we all gotta rewrite what isn't right, oh
They can't discriminate or eliminate our (Light)

[Chorus: Mikhala Jené]
We are the promise fighting to set us free
King had a dream that we've gotta keep
Love is the root of humanity
We are the promise, no matter your point of view
We are the future, we'll see it through
It all starts with me and you
We are the promise, promise, promise
We are the promise, promise, promise
[Verse 3: D Smoke]
Super, mmm
Yeah, yeah, what it look like? (Look like)
We 'bout to shine like stars on a good night (Good night)
Open they minds like art
Born out the hood, light up the dark, listen
Here goes a shot out of a rocket
Imagine living like nothing could stop it
That vision that drives your decision to aim for the target
Imagine the freedom to thrive being worn like a garment
Stitched with a little tolerance, picture a world where all of us
Acknowledge each other and smile at our differences
Knowing that when you fly as me, the sky is still limitless
Celebrating variety, we found our new genesis
Ooh, I feel amazing, ooh, what can I say?
But my mama's mama dreamed of a day that resembled this moment
Found our way to the pyramids just by following omens
Living life like I'm still a kid, I'm a king in my throne
Which passed down to me, if I'm honest
'Cause we are, we are

[Chorus: Mikhala Jené]
We are the promise fighting to set us free
King had a dream that we've gotta keep
Love is the root of humanity
We are the promise, no matter your point of view
(Yeah, no matter your point of view)
We are the future, we'll see it through
It all starts with me and you
We are the promise fighting to set us free
King had a dream that we've gotta keep
Love is the root of humanity
We are the promise, no matter your point of view
We are the future, we'll see it through
It all starts with me and you
We are the promise, promise, promise
We are the promise, promise, promise
