Righteous Resistance

[Chorus]
Aung San Suu Kyi
Your righteousness stayed
Through the years behind bars
Through the price that you paid
Nonviolent heart
In a military land
Democracy hope
In your open hand

[Verse 1]
Stood by the golden pagoda
Spoke of peace while generals were colder
Not by the bullet
But the vote she called
A voice from house arrest
Rising past the wall

[Chorus]
Aung San Suu Kyi
Your righteousness stayed
Through the years behind bars
Through the price that you paid
Nonviolent heart
In a military land
Democracy hope
In your open hand

[Verse 2]
The people of Myanmar whispered her name
Through the crackdowns and fear
Through the endless same
She led the peaceful dream
For a civil regime
Aung San Suu Kyi
Holding on to the beam

[Bridge]
To refuse the sword
When truth is ignored
Fifteen years of walls
Still the spirit calls
Prisoner who never died inside
Aung San Suu Kyi

[Chorus]
Aung San Suu Kyi
Your righteousness stayed
Through the years behind bars
Through the price that you paid
Nonviolent heart
In a military land
Democracy hope
In your open hand

[Post-Chorus]
Still walking
Aung San Suu Kyi
Still walking
For justice to be
Walking walking walking
Justice to be free
