[00:21.27] | If you’re assuming that mankind has a right to survive |
[00:23.61] | Find an alternative to war before that man goes blind |
[00:26.23] | With that eye for an eye talk tooth for a tooth talk |
[00:29.30] | We’d all need seeing eyes dogs |
[00:30.72] | And our food from a juice straw |
[00:31.97] | Misusing the truth for an instrument of violence |
[00:34.32] | Is like the innocent admiring the rule of a tyrant |
[00:36.94] | Its fuel for a fire sent into the womb |
[00:39.30] | Giving birth to the very child you meant to consume |
[00:41.96] | The commune we create by meeting hate with hate |
[00:44.63] | Demoralizes us humans so we can’t relate |
[00:47.12] | We’re segregated in our communities |
[00:48.68] | By our economical placement |
[00:50.02] | But agape doesn’t recognize value it creates it |
[00:52.69] | We’re born in a state where we constantly abandon |
[00:55.19] | The principles of love for a complement to stand on |
[00:57.61] | It’s like we in trouble and paying double for ransom |
[01:00.31] | Just know that through the struggle |
[01:01.60] | You got a cosmic companion |
[01:02.91] | And a confidence that can’t run |
[01:04.34] | From comments or handguns |
[01:05.63] | When you bombing a mans home |
[01:06.86] | And affecting his plans none |
[01:08.62] | It reflects on his grandson the respect that that man won |
[01:10.89] | Loving with no retreat |
[01:11.99] | Turning cheeks when the hands come |
[01:13.49] | Holding the meek for ransom |
[01:14.66] | Like you care what their worth |
[01:15.90] | Know the people you can't stand might inherit the earth |
[01:18.14] | And this evil just can't handle when we sharing the hurt |
[01:20.97] | Baring the cross staring at Who carried it first |
[01:26.16] | |
[01:54.98] | Finding true peace is not merely the absence of tension |
[01:57.68] | But the presence of justice in an act of redemption |
[02:00.32] | Internationally mentioned is it locally heard |
[02:02.84] | From the grave of civil rights I see the hopefuls emerge |
[02:05.46] | Bodies broken into words only to grow into a statement |
[02:08.16] | Never let anyone bring you so low |
[02:09.96] | That you would hate them |
[02:11.00] | In 1968 when that shot rang out |
[02:13.12] | The lyrics “We Shall Overcome” |
[02:14.59] | Is what that crowd sang out |
[02:15.85] | And I believe without a doubt that every word in the song |
[02:18.19] | Can be infinitely heard intently birds sing on |
[02:21.06] | From the cages that bind us the inner rage that blinds us |
[02:23.92] | Covering what’s written on the pages that define us |
[02:26.69] | Is it the day behind us or the one that’s arrived |
[02:29.54] | Making way for a path to survive |
[02:31.50] | Know that love is alive and you can count on this |
[02:34.09] | Ease up slow down revolutionaries bounce to this |
[02:38.80] |
