aka hong kong occupy central 2014, the name Umbrella Revolution was coined by Adam Cotton on Twitter on 26 September to describe the large number of protesters who used umbrellas to protect themselves from pepper spray and tear gas, and went on to be widely used in international media and by many protesters themselves. Sitting in the crowd, we are not without fear. If the fear has no end in sight then what should we do But once in a lifetime, this night has come We are even more afraid of not being able to make our cries heard. Standing on the front line, courage wont go away We believe the more we fear the darker our fate But who would have thought seeing through the absurdity means opening our eyes in tear gas. Open our umbrellas together, support each other Together we are uneasy but at least we are not alone, isnt that true Open our umbrellas together, hold them up Together we fight for what we deserve, are you afraid Even in a downpour, our aspirations have not fallen Umbrellas are flowers that wont wilt nor break For tomorrow we remember tonight We fight uncertainty with calm If once in our lifetime we miss this night We fear our cries wont be heard again
