We are divided by our races,
And honestly I hate it.
It feels like all the love in the world has faded.
We can't see the hurt on each other's faces.
Why should I love you less cause the color of your skin?
Why would I put someone above me because of a darker or lighter pigment?
All lives matter.
Everyone's heart is beaten and battered.
Yeah, we all goin through somethin,
We all been shattered.
We're all brothers and sisters through the blood of Christ.
Whether you're black, white or blue,
You got a lot a things you're going through.
So instead of the separating and spreading of hate,
Why don't we spread the love and find someone to save?
The burning of buildings,
The beating of children,
The hurting of innocence,
Man it's all ridiculous.
The police brutality,
Rioting like it's something you do righteously,
The fighting so tirelessly.
All lives matter, not just you or me.

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
