Something wicked has come our way
On a raging wind
And should this tempest have its say
We'll be destroyed and from within

Will we find the courage
That we'll need to survive?
Well we cannot be discouraged
As long as we are still alive

Against the rain, we'll forge a chain, unbroken
And we'll defy every lie that's spoken
And now, if we join together
In the age of the great divide
And face the truth with our еyes wide open
Our hеarts, our minds, this dream
Will stand unbroken, unbroken
Unbroken, unbroken

In the streets all the angry voices
Shout the world's unfair
As the universe stands in silence
Bolts of lightning flash everywhere

Restless is the night
We pray but we must fight
Day by day we search for ways
To lead us to the guiding light

Against the rain, we will remain, unbroken
We seek a time, where only truth is spoken
And so, while the ground is shaking,
Let there be a call to arms
To face the truth with our eyes wide open
Your heart, my heart, all hearts
Shall stand unbroken, unbroken
Unbroken, unbroken

We cannot surrender
We cannot give in
We must still remember
The dream remains within
And knowing where we have been

Against the rain, we'll forge a chain, unbroken
And we'll defy, every lie, that's spoken
And now, while the ground is shaking
Let there be a call to arms
And face the truth with our eyes wide open
Our hearts, our hopes, this dream
Shall stand unbroken, unbroken
Stand unbroken, unbroken

Unbroken, unbroken

Unbroken, unbroken 

Interpretation

Like some kind of evil coming in the winds of a terribly storm, the political divisiveness we are experiencing in America is destroying the country from within. Do we have the courage to stand up and face the storm?  If we can stand together, arm in arm, like a chain, to expose the lies that are raining down on us, open our eyes to the truth, as well as our hearts and minds, we can continue the pursuit of the great dream upon which our nation was founded. It's not enough for people to just cry out "it's unfair!".  We need to pray for God's divine intervention and also to fight the fight for freedom and equality for all. That chain must remain unbroken. We can not let ourselves as individuals give in, because the chain is only as strong as the weakest link. This is a call to arms, to stand together, unbroken.
