Where were you when the sheets were tangled around our feet and our hearts were an extension of your pitiful laughter?
Why did we allow you to peel the hard shell away and pierce our souls, reading us like a magazine with sticky pages?
Everything about you entranced us, but you weren't there when we needed you.

We are the voice of the youth.
The heartbroken youth.

I have faith in every American, white and black
Will be united into a new brotherhood
Where we walk as one

I have faith in every American, white and black
Will see all as equal citizens
Free in our country

I have faith in every American, white and black
Will come to realize
We cannot walk alone

I have faith in every American, white and black
... we cannot turn back
