The Assembly Song

We built this city on our backs and we did it on our own
Without the need for their assistance, no, we did it all alone
It was because we helped each other to thrive despite the pain
We all have lived together, while they rule from far away

What do you say to a face that has never even seen you?
So many who've seen Hell and yet keep pushing through
Well, I can say it with pride that I know that I'm alive
Because this city took a monster and has given her a life

They say you don't have power, they're telling you wrong
You know the streets of this city, they only know walls
They say they have us cornered, well, I say they're lost
They won't take us in pieces, they'll take the whole lot

Take up arms, Brother!
(Yeah!) Show these fools looking in they don't know who they're messing with
Build it tall, Sister!
(Yeah!) Make a maze only we'd see, they'll never see it coming

What say you, will you stand behind me?
(Yeah!) What say you to protecting this city?
(Yeah!) We will prove we don't face them alone
We'll show them if we have to, we'll fight for our home!
