Monument Lyrics
[Chorus]
Aren't you going to come along?
Aren't you going to fight?
Aren't you going to hold your hands up to the light?
If you feel an emptiness
If you want to hide
Think about the blood
That's pumping keeping you alive
[Verse 1]
We've got it all worked out
The plans all made
If we believe in the fight
Then we're all saved
It's gonna hurt for a while
But it would anyway
Let us stand resolute
With our voices raised
We have a right to insist
To be free and brave
If that should cease to exist
I'd throw my heart away
[Chorus]
Aren't you going to come along?
Aren't you going to fight?
Aren't you going to hold your hands up to the light?
If you feel an emptiness
If you want to hide
Think about the blood
That's pumping keeping you alive
[Verse 2]
It's a long long way
To the promised land
So try where you are
Do what you can
You belong to what you understand
So teach yourself how to demand
The monument that you deserve
For rising up in a beaten down world
[Chorus]
Aren't you going to come along?
Aren't you going to fight?
Aren't you going to hold your hands up to the light?
If you feel an emptiness
If you want to hide
Think about the blood
That's pumping keeping you alive
Monument Q&A
Who wrote Monument's ?
Monument was written by Mirah.
What did Mirah say about "Monument"?
I wrote “Monument” as a call to action essentially. It’s meant to inspire people to keep doing social justice work in particular. I do have a lot of activist friends that love the song “Monument.” I’m not a very good activist myself.
