December 8: A Song Celebrating a New Syria

Yo, turn it up!

Cause on this day the whole sky flipped

On this day every chain got ripped

December 8th, we lit, we live

A new Syria came alive!

We came from the dust but we glow now

Years in the dark but we shine like a show now

Every block was a fight but we own that

Every kid had a dream and we held that

Storms came hard but we stayed strong

Hope kept banging like a bassline all along

Tyrant fell down, party hit the streets

Now the whole damn nation's dancing on its feet

They said we'd never make it, ha!

Look around, we turned every heartbreak into louder sound

Flag in the air like a DJ wave

Truth hit harder than the lies they gave

Through December 8th, we lightened up the town

Hands up high cause the walls came down

We cried, we fought, we flipped the game

History showed up and called our name

Through December 8th, the night turned into gold

Fear packed bags cause it couldn't hold

From Derrick's hills to Latakia's waves

We rise as one, December 8th!

Old lies burn like sparks in the club light

Prison doors open, new day, new life

Moms got sons back, dads could breathe

Kids got futures you can actually see

No tanks, no threats, just people power

We built it block by block, hour by hour

Whole world slept but we stayed awake

Now the whole world watches every move we make

Say every name, turn the volume high

Turn every wound into fire in the sky

From ashes we built a brand new beat

And we'll never bow down to a dying regime

Through December 8th, we lightened up the town

Hands up high cause the walls came down

We cried, we fought, we flipped the game

History showed up and called our name

Through December 8th, the night turned into gold

Fear packed bags cause it couldn't hold

From Idlib's hills to Latakia's waves

We rise as one, December 8th!

Raise a glass for the fallen

Make noise for the free

Every beat, every step

Got us right where we need to be

Sun's out strong, no shadow left

Old regime's ghost, man that's dead

Brand new Syria in the spotlight

Now December 8th, take a bow!

Through December 8th, remember how we stood

A people who survived when no one thought we could

Hearts on fire, let the speakers shake

This is the day we chose, future over fate

Through December 8th, we rise, we heal, we stand

One base, one voice, one land

Revolution lives, the tyrant fades

Forever free, December 8th!
