We Are Determined Lyrics by Christopher Smith

Amazing Grace (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2016

[ABOLITIONIST ENSEMBLE]
It begins in the dark
Whispering voices strike the spark
Which becomes the flame of a change, of a turning
Of the few who dare
To break the chains our brothers must bear

For we are determined to live and to die
For the freedom of those that our nation denies
So one day, their voices will roar like the sea
When they breathe free

[TYLER]
Now we must search deep inside
For the courage to decide
Is this worth our lives?
Can we live with the knowledge that we could not bear
To break the chains our consciences wear

[ALL]
For we are determined to live and to die
For the freedom of those that our nation denies
So one day, their voices will roar like the sea
When they breathe free

[Mary joins]

Someday we will discover what we can become
When at last we atone for these things we have done
For there, in that moment, our own chains will fall
When we heed this call
We will heed this call
