In this world, during this time
It’s hard to keep it in my mind
That life has many different phases
Were aching going through the changes
Look closely at the faces
There is so much more than color
Deeper meanings to our pride
More than value to the dollar
We’re fighting for our lives
Just one more day to stay alive
When will we understand
We’re holding hearts here in our hands
And they’re still beating
We have Blood on our clothes
But we’re callous of feelings
We all hurt the same
And the time is fleeting
To realize
Our hearts have teeth
We see our pain
But can’t see yours
Demand our rights
And words be heard
We act like freedom is a given
But death is the price that’s paid
Why are we blind to see our vision
React to comments someone made
Happy to deepen our division
The balance of justice never weighed
We are the ones to make a stand
The ones to change the past
Stand together, hand in hand
Build a future made to last
One that is deaf can’t hear the hate
Sees truth, yet, colorblind
Because “WE” is what it’s gonna take
For your life and for mine
To be as it was meant to be
A colorful work if art
A grand design in the land of the free
With one United heart ❤️ 🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍🤎
