The Storm by Rick Massie
This song was inspired by Heavy NFLD's work to fight against discrimination within the province of Newfoundland.
The song starts as a musical soundtrack to show how an ordinary day can turn into terror and tragedy. It follows with a call to join together to fight against hatred, injustice, and racism.

Lyrics
For the time has come
to go away...
You had nowhere to run
and now it's gone away.
The last breath we'll ever hear you take -
is a cry for all, and it's all that we can take.
...life...
Forging hands
together now
we stand.
No more time for your lies.
No time for your hate.
Now is the time.
And no, it's not too late.
Now we know, how we'll show
it's more than words... and these words will be heard.
I promise you that we'll be
The storm.
We stand together...
We stand together... We hold true
We stand together...
We'll stand forever... Fighting you
We stand forever...
We stand together... We hold true
We stand together...
We'll stand forever... Fighting you
We the winds of change.
Be the wind of change.
Unleash the vortex of humanity.
Don't be afraid to celebrate
the love you have within, my friend.
Unleash yourself against the hate.
With one battle cry: "It's not too late".
