🎵 "Still Know My Way Home"

I still know my old street name

I thought I forgot, but it's the same

Back when the skies were gray

And they told us all to run away

I was just a child back then

But I could think like wiser men

Our house stood by the alley side

And I still see our neighbor’s pride

She stood and cried, her voice was clear

"Why should we leave what we hold dear?"

"Why give them what we built in tears?"

"This land is ours, not theirs to smear!"

Oh, I would die for you, my land

With empty hands, I’d make a stand

The cowards bowed and walked in fear

No soul, no truth, no honor near

But she… she fell within a beat

While voices rose out in the street

Brothers rose and took the lead

They knew just what the moment needs

The world turned upside down again

We were told to flee, to bear the pain

Though years have passed and I'm grown tall

I still recall it—through it all

I may be far, I may be gone

But I still know where I belong

That door, that wall, that dusty road

Still live inside this heart I hold

I’d die again for you, my land

With open arms, I'd take a stand

No fear can steal what’s truly mine

The truth survives the test of time

And I still know my way back home

One day, I swear, we will return

The truth will shine, the fight will burn

The truth will rise… again… again…

Yeah, the truth will rise again.
