| If you’re assuming that mankind has a right to survive
|
| Find an alternative to war before that man goes blind
|
| With that eye for an eye talk tooth for a tooth talk
|
| We’d all need seeing eyes dogs
|
| And our food from a juice straw
|
| Misusing the truth for an instrument of violence
|
| Is like the innocent admiring the rule of a tyrant
|
| Its fuel for a fire sent into the womb
|
| Giving birth to the very child you meant to consume
|
| The commune we create by meeting hate with hate
|
| Demoralizes us humans so we can’t relate
|
| We’re segregated in our communities
|
| By our economical placement
|
| But agape doesn’t recognize value it creates it
|
| We’re born in a state where we constantly abandon
|
| The principles of love for a complement to stand on
|
| It’s like we in trouble and paying double for ransom
|
| Just know that through the struggle
|
| You got a cosmic companion
|
| And a confidence that can’t run
|
| From comments or handguns
|
| When you bombing a mans home
|
| And affecting his plans none
|
| It reflects on his grandson the respect that that man won
|
| Loving with no retreat
|
| Turning cheeks when the hands come
|
| Holding the meek for ransom
|
| Like you care what their worth
|
| Know the people you can’t stand might inherit the earth
|
| And this evil just can’t handle when we sharing the hurt
|
| Baring the cross staring at Who carried it first
|
| Finding true peace is not merely the absence of tension
|
| But the presence of justice in an act of redemption
|
| Internationally mentioned is it locally heard
|
| From the grave of civil rights I see the hopefuls emerge
|
| Bodies broken into words only to grow into a statement
|
| Never let anyone bring you so low
|
| That you would hate them
|
| In 1968 when that shot rang out
|
| The lyrics «We Shall Overcome»
|
| Is what that crowd sang out
|
| And I believe without a doubt that every word in the song
|
| Can be infinitely heard intently birds sing on
|
| From the cages that bind us the inner rage that blinds us
|
| Covering what’s written on the pages that define us
|
| Is it the day behind us or the one that’s arrived
|
| Making way for a path to survive
|
| Know that love is alive and you can count on this
|
| Ease up slow down revolutionaries bounce to this |
