Lyrics:

Standing now
Calling all the people here to see the show
Calling all my demons now to let me go
I need something, give me something wonderful

I believe
She won't take me somewhere I'm not supposed to be
You can't steal the things that God has given me
No more pain and no more shame and misery

You can't take me down
You can't break me down
You can't take me down

You can't take me down
You can't break me down
You can't take me down

Love and hate
How much more are we supposed to tolerate
Can't you see there's more to me than my mistakes
Sometimes I get this feeling - makes me hesitate

I believe
She won't take me somewhere I'm not supposed to be
You can't steal the things that God has given me
No more pain and no more shame and misery

You can't take me down
You can't break me down
You can't take me down

You can't break me down
You can't take me down
You can't break me down

I can see a place of trouble
And I'm on the verge
For the love of everybody
I need something more

Now I feel some days of trouble
I'm in the house of war
For the love of everybody
Look behind the wall

Standing now
Calling all the people here to see the show
Calling all my demons now to let me go
I need something, give me something wonderful

[elbarbaroadducci]

¡¡¡LA MEJOR SERIE DE NEXFLIX DE ESTE AÑO 2019¡¡¡¡

[nour]

This song is amazing and the series broke my heart

[TianCrash]

Lyrics paralelisms with the scenes.
"Standing now
Calling all the people here to see the show
Calling all my demons now to let me go
I need something, give me something wonderful" when the courtroom was filling with people and those implicated in the case, the whole situation was a mediatic show.
-
"I believe
She won't take me somewhere I'm not supposed to be
You can't steal the things that God has given me
No more pain and no more shame and misery" the attorney and the prosecutor lying to the kids, taking away they freedom but not their spirits, taking them to jail where they weren't suposed to be.
-
"Love and hate
How much more are we supposed to tolerate
Can't you see there's more to me than my mistakes
Sometimes I get this feeling - makes me hesitate" The kids were forced into the mistake of accepting and confessing a crime they didn't commit, because of it they had to tolerate being public enemies, being demanded to be executed, being sent to jail for several years.
-
"You can't take me down
You can't break me down
You can't take me down" it simply goes without saying.
-
Powerful selection for the specific scene it appears.

[omersercankaya]

Nerden buluyorsun böyle şeyleri ama güzelmiş <3

[thiago]

I'm a native of Brazil, and this shitty racism is also strong around here.
