What sparks your soul

What moves you to move

What makes you stand up

Fight with something to prove

Is it anger or fear

Is it passion and purpose

Is it a hunger inside

To fight social injustice

*

Or do you turn off the news?

Pretend it’s simply made up

Say it doesn’t affect you

Simply ignore the corruption

Don’t turn a blind eye

Don’t let ignorance grow

We can’t get beyond

Unless we let that crap go

*

People are hurting

They are crying and worse

Mamas burying their babies

Following behind, in a hearse

How can we talk about love

Unity or peace ?

When people just like us

Are being killed in our streets

I don’t care where you come from

I don care where you live

It’s time for understanding

And some fucks to give

Get off of our sofas

off our phones and high horses

And start making a change

Combine our resources

Because we all have our strengths

And weaknesses too

But when we work together

There is nothing we can’t do

Time to make choices

It’s time for a change

Let’s get it together

And get on the same page
