Black and blue, the color of a bruise.
In this nation's fight, we all will lose.
No one is safe in the land of the free.
Take a look around...whose your enemy?
Black Lives Matter and so does Blue.
All created by God, this much is true.
Fear and hate behind all attacks.
Lord, heal our nation and bring peace back.

This world, as we know it, coming to an end.
A country divided, enemies from within.
Our leaders have failed us time and again.
Black and blue bruises, who will win?
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness the dream.
But, where is peace in God's grand scheme?
Always sought after, yet never attained.
Lord, heal our nation and grant us peace again.

"A nation divided can not stand on its own."
Fear and hate are the seeds we've sown.
Never to reap a harvest of peace.
Only black and blue bruises, never to cease.
Differences divide us and keep us apart.
But, our similarities unite us and touch every heart.
If only to think of the pain we feel.
Grieving the death of loved ones so real.
Blue Lives Matter and so does black.
Lord, please heal our nation and bring peace back.
