[Verse 1]
Teach me a song
I’m talking the call and the response
The ask and the answer
I’m talking
Give me the words
That let me fight for my life
Words that color this strife
That hold up over time
With a natural rhyme
With a rhythm that knows
The blood in the bone
That an ache need a home

We stay telling these stories
And bearing this witness
When the sound
Gets it right

[Outro]
That’s how we take us with us
