lyrics

Lately the world has been turning upside down
Now more than ever
Every day we turn on the news
Only to see another case of injustice
Another man or woman whose life has been devalued and cut short
But I want everyone here to know
Before we are black
Before we are white
We Are people
Just Trying to live another day
In peace
And in harmony
I sometimes
Find myself trying to drown out the noise with music
Just trying to escape the reality of the day
And the despair of hundreds of years of pain
It’s as if society is in a loop of indifference
I find myself turning up the volume to drown out the noise
Because each shot gets louder and louder and louder
I know you feel my pain
Because I feel your pain
I know you want to scream
Because sometimes I want to scream
We long for the days when the only space between us was just enough to move our bodies
To rhythms of togetherness
We long for the days when the boom that we heard was the bass from the speakers
And not the bombs they drop in our neighborhoods
We long for the days when the sweat from our faces was the sweat of joy
And not the sweat of that hot sun beaming down on us as we protest yet another
George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Jacob Blake, or Tamir Rice
We’re here today to say we are tired of being tired
We are sick of being sick
We just want to move again
We just want to fly again
We just want to dance again
But if we can’t breathe
We can’t dance
