Lyrics
Prologue
In the halls of kings and beggars’ streets,
Where mercy hides and power cheats,
A voice rings soft, a steady hum,
“Justice is as justice does.
It’s not the word, it’s not the prayer,
It’s the fire that burns when no one’s there.
The hand that lifts, the truth that stings,
The song the guilty never sings.
Verse 1
They write their laws in borrowed light,
Then sell our wrongs as sacred right.
The scales are cracked, the gavel rusts,
They tell us “faith, but ask for trust.
We march in circles, time unmade,
Our courage spent, our hearts betrayed.
But through the smoke, a whisper grows,
A spark the tyrant never knows.
Pre-Chorus
It’s not the crown, it’s not the creed,
It’s the act that plants the seed.
Chorus
Justice is as justice does,
Not a promise, not a cause.
It’s the hand that breaks the chain,
And stands again through blood and pain.
Justice is as justice does,
Not their favor, not applause.
It’s the truth that dares to rise above,
Justice is as justice does.
Verse 2
They build their peace on broken ground,
And preach that silence is profound.
They say the world is fair enough,
While feeding us their poison love.
But every lie can find its match,
A spark too wild, a heart to catch.
The drums of change begin to roll,
Through every weary, waiting soul.
Pre-Chorus
It’s not the vow, it’s not the prayer,
It’s what we do when no one’s there.
Chorus
Justice is as justice does,
Not a word we speak because.
It’s the fight when hope is small,
The lift that comes before the fall.
Justice is as justice does,
Not their mercy, not their laws.
It’s the hand that dares to rise above,
Justice is as justice does.
Bridge
Who guards the night when truth is blind?
The ones who act, the ones who find.
Who tends the flame when hearts grow cold?
The ones who burn to break the mold!
Not saints nor kings will lead this fight,
The people blaze their own new light!
With every tear and every cause,
We’ll prove what justice truly does.
Chorus
Justice is as justice does,
Not the tales they tell of us.
It’s the march through mud and flame,
The dream that will not die in shame.
Justice is as justice does,
Not their comfort, not their cause.
It’s the voice that dares to rise above,
Justice is as justice does.
Final Verse
So when the wind forgets your name,
And power plays its oldest game,
Remember this, the rebel’s trust,
Justice is as justice does.
It’s not the word that freedom loves,
It’s the flame that rises from the dust.
And when the dawn lifts all of us,
Justice is as justice does.
