I hope this strikes a nerve in you
To tell you that yes
I have blood in me too.
Someone was shot today
Execution style on their knees
Weak and unable to live on their feet
For fighting for what they believe.
All anyone ever wanted in life was peace
If you close your eyes like Lennon said
You'd see more than you would with them open
Black
White
Asian
Hispanic
Russian
Cuban
I don't care what you are
We all bleed red.
If it's blood that is needed to be spilled to show
Then take it from the history books.
War shouldn't be all we know.
One day I want my babies to feel safe
And have friends of every race
And love the color of their blood,
Not just the color of their skin.
I want them to love the person they love
Because their personality is colorful.
I don't want them to care about equality
Because we're all God's children
He put us all here.
Isn't that equal enough?
