lyrics

Now is not the time to hide or run away in fear
cuz we've learned from history exactly what's happening here
are we just going to sit back and watch it all unfold
pretend nothings happening and do what we're told
I know that I am privileged and I yes I am white
but that doesn't mean that can't stand up and fight
for my brothers and my sisters whatever shade they are
cuz underneath our skin we are all hiding up our scars

how do we break the cycle how do we break the chain
are the questions we keep asking again and again
you can say this is how it is that's how will always be
or we can rise together for the sake of humanity

cuz the earth she is screaming, screaming for a change
don't you see her bleeding don't you think it's strange
that it's summer in November, some say it's cuz were in hell
but I've seen heaven at my back door and this much I can tell
there is something bigger than you or me
than the color of our skin or making money
it's bigger than I hate and it's bigger than fear
and when we're gone it'll still be here

how do we break the cycle how do we break the chain
are the questions we keep asking again and again
you can say this is how it is that's how will always be
or we can rise together for the sake of humanity

so the choice is up to you can you rise above
can you stand up for those that are hurt can you show them love
cuz it's all a matter of perspective whatever you choose to see
it's just a reflection of yourself reflected off of me
and I've heard people say after dark there is light
let us help each other through the dark here, take my flashlight
