We are not going to let you win

Watch Stoneman Douglas students sing powerful song they wrote in wake of shooting: ‘We’re not going to let you win’

The Stoneman Douglas Drama Club wrote an empowering song demanding change.

Titling the song “Shine,” the students stood surrounded by their parents, classmates, teachers, elected officials and community members desperately searching for answers.

“You’re not gonna knock us down. We’ll get back up again,” the chorus rang throughout the arena. “You may have hurt us but promise we’ll be stronger, and we’re not going to let you win. We’re going to put up a fight. You may have brought the dark but together we will shine the light.”

As another student played the piano, those in the audiences turned the lights on their phones and stretched them above the crowd to shine their own light.
