Lyrics

Verse 1 – Harriet Tubman}

🎵
She walked through the dark, not away but toward
The cries in the night she could never ignore
A lantern in hand, her courage was fire
She didn’t get free—she climbed higher and higher
🎵


---

{Chorus}

🎶
These are the stories that beat in our chest
The hearts that kept going when crushed by the rest
Not kings, not the rulers, not glory or charts
But the people who loved with historical hearts
🎶


---

{Verse 2 – Christmas Truce}

🎵
In the cold of the war, in the blood and the mud
A voice started singing, then more joined the hum
They stepped out from cover and into the light
For one fleeting moment, they chose not to fight
🎵


---

{Chorus}

🎶
These are the stories that beat in our chest
The hearts that kept going when crushed by the rest
Not kings, not the rulers, not glory or charts
But the people who loved with historical hearts
🎶


---

{Bridge – German Resisters}

🎵
They said “Obey,” but she opened the floor
Fed the hidden, afraid, while guards knocked on the door
No medals, no safety—just whisper and spark
Doing what’s right, not what’s stamped by the mark
🎵


---

{Final Verse – 9/11 Boatlift}

🎵
The smoke rose like thunder, the city undone
And still, they showed up—every last one
With hands reaching out from the water and shore
No orders, just love—they kept coming for more
🎵


---

{Final Chorus – Full Power}

🎶
These are the stories that beat in our chest
The hearts that kept going when crushed by the rest
Not carved into marble or sold into art
But the ones who stood strong with historical hearts
🎶

{Outro – Soft}

🎵
So remember the ones who chose love in the dark...
We carry their fire, through history ... in our hearts.
