Lifting Our Voices

Save the civilized fight

For though it won it is not yet over

The beloved mother ought to hold her dear children in her arm

The brutality is rough and times have become tough

We need strong men and strong women to answer the call

To stand up for their brothers and sisters

For it isn't right what's happening in our society

Dear children cannot just play and hope to be something

Lives are being taken from their very eyes

We must abolish all excuses and be willing to lend a hand

Take the hand of our sisters in mourning and reach for our brothers in need

For our country needs us most of all and the future needs a midwife

Though the mountain may be great the valley is even greater

Though the desert is dangerous there is an oasis

Peace and love are the solutions and the road to there is not empty

There are blessings abounding along the way and we must walk the solemn walk

We must talk the bold talk and our cries will be heard and this storm will pass

It is all in restructuring our minds before we walk and talk

We cannot think like the attacker we must think like the solver

Show them that love for children have no color and no creed their blood is red

And their blood must be answered for and those lives lost must be restored justice

And though it may take a million years or so it feels like they may never admit

We put our hope in Greater Power the Higher Power of Justice to answer us and showered down justice

Like a flood all over this land freeing creation of the bondage of drought from prowess of the privilege.
