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
