Dedicated to the frontline defenders of social justice

lyrics

Mike Wird's verse: I remove tombstones and plant trees on a cemetary, carry me to where freedom isn't secondary, where justice isn't just us, and the corrupt just isn't what must prevail yall, we tell stories of the triumph, trials and tribulations keep our eyes up, and open all 3 we all see, the lies the lives they hide it's all me, I am cuz we are the front runners, they run from us, some want none of us to live they huntin us, something must give on the frontlines, we either live to combine our courage or we unwind in defeat, sometimes in a seed, is the faith to move mountains, sometimes it's the sea, rise with the beat, mighty people in your chest plate, we hold the soul of the planet, let it gestate

Chorus: This is more than guitars and bars they try to treat us like we came from mars but lets go yall, This is more than guitars and bars we front runners gonna get some scars but lets go yall, This is more than guitars and bars the front runners gonna shine like stars so lets go yall, This is more than guitars and bars we front runners this is who we are

Toussaint verse: Front runners with the drum drummers, I heard they trying to take the sun from us, took our fathers and our son's from us, like what more do you want from us, redlines not in the headlines, they wanted Martin doing fed time, they wanted Malcolm doing fed time, even better doing dead time, now watch the earth crack, like the sound of a whip onto a slave's back, this is history and you can't escape that, but current events show where the escapades at, fightin for the same injustices like since way back, got me feelin like Im 1968 Black, like lets start a riot you shouldn't say that, but the ops be like where's our 3 days grace at?!

Chorus: This is more than guitars and bars they try to treat us like we came from mars but lets go yall, This is more than guitars and bars we front runners gonna get some scars but lets go yall, This is more than guitars and bars the front runners gonna shine like stars so lets go yall, This is more than guitars and bars we front runners this is who we are
