We’ve had some requests for the lyrics to this song so here they are!

Can you hear what I hear, a rising up on the streets
Im calling out – lend me your ears, this is no pyrrhic defeat
And so it begins, we’re not just fading away
And after all the rises and falls, burning twice as fast how long can you last.
If the sky falls in, let it all begin, a new day is dawning

Take back the streets tonight,
This is our time, this is our fight
And now we’ve got to stand up to make the change
Take back the streets tonight
This is all we have, this is our life,
And now we’ve got to stand up to make the change

Where once were ideas, now all that remains,
Are fragments and fears and people all doing the same,
And so it begins, we’re not just fading away
And after all the rises and falls, The rage inside it keeps us alive,
If the sky falls in, let it all begin, this is our fight if we still believe,

Take back the streets tonight,
This is our time, this is our fight
And now we’ve got to stand up to make the change
Take back the streets tonight
This is all we have, this is our life,
And now we’ve got to stand up to make the change

And someone else asked what is pyrrhic defeat – Pyrrhic defeat theory is the idea that those with the power to change a system, benefit from the way it currently works.
