I woke up
Opened my eyes
And looked out, to the darkening skies
The world has gone crazy as blood fills the streets
Steal, kill, destroy, the cycle repeats
But we cannot give into these destructive forces
That many digest like a meal with five courses
Like wild running horses, we flee from the truth
And drink up the lies as we confuse our youth
Oh but don’t lose heart
And don’t you dare let go
There’s always hope in tomorrow
When we make a way
By working to save our today
You may not understand
But know there’s a promised land
And the day may be dark, but yet still we must fight
Let shadows bow down to the light
People so high, they’re brought down so low
But when they need love, we shut down the flow
The problems so noisy we just need some silence
But all that we get is more hate and gun violence
And when, we should extend some grace
Instead we still choose to shed blood over race
Getting up in my face, like I’m somehow displaced
If we keep up the war, we’ll all be erased
But don’t lose heart
And don’t you dare let go
There’s always hope in tomorrow
When we make a way
By working to save our today
You may not understand
But know there’s a promised land
And the day may be dark, yet still we must fight
Let shadows bow down to the light
Don’t lose heart
And don’t you dare let go
There’s always hope in tomorrow
When we make a way
By working to save our today
You may not understand
But know there’s a promised land
And the day may be dark, yet still we must fight
Let shadows bow down to the light
