Could we live in a world with no fear,
Learn, heal and shed no tear.
To live with you, to live with thee,
To respect, and uphold, racial equality.
Your heart is open, your eyes are closed,
I see your pain, I see the untold.
You feel afraid, you stand all alone
You search for hope, but no one is home.
You open your mouth, you whisper no more,
You are only human, you kneel to the floor.
You raise your hands to the sky,
searching for hope from above, asking god why.
Why do we suffer, why is there pain,
Why do they not see, we are all the same.
Why do they chant, why do they fight,
Why does my heartache, every, single, night.
Why does it matter, of ones race,
Aren’t we not all visitors within earths holy place.
You whisper to thee, to anyone who can hear,
You plead to be seen, you plead with a tear.
Your heart is open, your eyes are closed,
I see your pain, I listen of what you told.
I see your rawness, I walk with pace,
I look down to you, I kneel face to face.
I reach out to you, our fingers connect,
I whisper aloud, I’m here to protect.
I open my heart, I close my eyes,
I feel your pain, I hear your cries.
I open my mouth, I whisper I am here,
You hear my voice, you shed one more tear.
The tear of joy, the tear of love,
The tear of equality, the tear from above.
You open your eyes, and I open mine,
We share this moment, our hearts intertwine.
The true meaning of life, together we now feel,
Love one another, grow, learn and heal.
We can live in a world of no fear,
We can learn, heal and shed no tear.
To live with you, to live with thee,
To respect, uphold racial equality.
Black lives matter, I hear your endeavour,
I stand side by side, today, tomorrow and forever. 💓
