    We Heal Together

    WE HEAL TOGETHER Black Mental Health Matters Anthem [INTRO – Spoken] They told us to be strong.They told us not to cry.But strength is not silence.And healing is not weakness.This is our time. Black Mental Health Matters. [VERSE 1] We carry stories from generations before,Pain in our hearts that we couldn't ignore.Smiles on our faces, storms underneath,Searching for hope, searching for peace. Mama said, "Pray, you'll be alright,"Daddy taught us how to hide the fight.But now we're breaking every chain,Speaking our truth, releasing the pain. [PRE-CHORUS] You don't have to walk alone,You don't have to hide your scars.Your story matters, your life matters,You are exactly who you are. [CHORUS] We heal together, we rise together,Through every storm, through every weather.Black minds matter, Black lives matter,Our mental health matters forever. Lift your voice, let your heart breathe,There is hope, there is room to believe.From generation to generation,We choose healing, we choose liberation. [VERSE 2] For every brother afraid to say,"I'm not okay," but smiles anyway.For every sister carrying the load,Giving everybody love while losing her own. You are worthy of a helping hand,You deserve support, you deserve to stand.No more shame, no more disguise,We face our pain and still we rise. [BRIDGE – Choir] I am worthy.I am healing.I am enough.I am still here. [LEAD]Can you hear me? [CHOIR]We hear you! [LEAD]Can you see me? [CHOIR]We see you! [LEAD]Do you believe healing is possible? [CHOIR]YES! [CHORUS – Full] We heal together, we rise together,Through every storm, through every weather.Black minds matter, Black lives matter,Our mental health matters forever. Lift your voice, let your heart breathe,There is hope, there is room to believe.From generation to generation,We choose healing, we choose liberation. [OUTRO – Spoken/Sung] No more suffering in silence.No more shame in asking for help.No more carrying the weight alone. We are community.We are resilience.We are healing. Black Mental Health Matters.Your mind matters.Your story matters.Your life matters. We heal together.
