Take a stand do not back down,
If you don't see the problem take a look around.
Open your eyes to what's been in our face for years,
I will never understand your pain or everyday fears.
But I stand beside you with eyes full of tears.
The color of our skin should not determine whether we live or die,
The color of our skin should not separate you and I.
Our world is sick and I'm praying for a cure
So that people of all colors can walk the streets feeling secure.
People are dying by the very people there to protect us,
This is Injustice and I pray this will connect us.
Black, white , purple or green,
Let us all come together and show up to the scene.
We can become one and spark a change,
Heart to heart, hand to hand exchange.
The evil in the world makes my heart shatter,
When will you all understand that black lives matter?
I will never understand but I stand with you.
