Underground

Look at the front page; turn on the TV

They fire another round at you and me

Their guns are loaded; they're takin' aim

Nobody told them we're not all the same

No paranoia; nobody could

Just write it off as being Hollywood

The innuendo between the lines

Leaves no confusion 'bout what's on their minds (whoaa)



I won't go underground

I won't turn and flee

I won't bow the knee

I won't go underground

I won't run and hide

From the rising tide

I won't go underground

I won't compromise

What the world denies

I won't go underground

And I'm not ashamed

Of the cross I've claimed (Noooo)



Listen: They've taken notes on what we say

You know they'd like to lock us all away

Can't stop the movement; can't make it slow

Persecution always makes us grow

They've got my number; it's no surprise

I'm here and wearing no disguise

Bring out the lions and heat up the fire

It's not enough to stop this man's desire (Noooo)



I won't go underground

I won't turn and flee

I won't bow the knee



I won't go underground

I'll keep holding fast

To the very last

I won't go underground

I will turn my cheek

I will boldly speak

I won't go underground

I am not ashamed of the cross I've claimed



I know the Spirit behind this force

It's not surprising if you know the Source

I'll pray for freedom for helpless ones

And I'll keep standing till the new day dawns (whoaaa)



I won't go underground

I won't turn and flee

I won't bow the knee

I won't go underground

I won't run and hide

From the rising tide

I won't go underground

I won't compromise

What the world denies

I won't go underground

I am not ashamed

Of the cross I've claimed

I won't go underground

And I won't lay low

As the hatreds grow

I won't go underground

(whoaaa)

I won't go underground

(I won't, I won't)

I won't go underground
