[00:00.00]
[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]
