Broken chains
Broken bodies
Broken families
Soaked in blood.
Tired of toil
Tired of sweat
Blood in tears
We're not there yet.
Broken country
Broken pleas
Broken minds
Soaked in fear.
Tired of anthems
Tired of flags
Blood in freedom
Do you hear me yet?
Broken hearts
Broken homes
Broken spirits
Soaked in pain.
Tired of darkness
Tired of hate
Blood in soil
We're not there yet.
Broken churches
Broken gospel
Broken truth
Soaked in lies.
Tired of hypocrisy
Tired eyes
Blood redeems
Have we reconciled?
Broken laws
Broken dreams
Broken justice
Soaked in hate.
Tired of cages
Tired of same
Blood is life
But we don't care yet.
We're broken.
