Underground — текст песни (Petra)

Words and music by Bob Hartman and John Elefante
Based on John 15:18, Philippians 1:28, Romans 8:37

Look at the front page, turn on the tv
They fire another round at you and me
Their guns are loaded, they`re taking 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

(Chorus)
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 turn 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

They`re taking 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 got my number, it`s no surprise
I`m here and wearing no disguise
Bring on the lions and heat up the fire
It`s not enough to stop this man`s desire

(2nd Chorus)
I won`t go underground
I won`t turn and flee
I won`t bow the knee
I won`t go underground
I keep holding fast till 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 pray for freedom for helpless ones
And I keep standing till the new day dawns

And I won`t lay low as the hatreds grow
