Singing This Song

Singing this song, let the whole world know

Singing this song, let the whole world know

Let the choir sing

Singing this song, let the whole world know

Let the choir sing

Singing this song, let the whole world know

Singing this song, let the whole world know

Let the choir sing

Singing this song, let the whole world know

Blood on our hands, it's wetter than it ever was

We say it's getting better yet it seldom does

Everybody wanna fuss but what gets discussed

When it's all said and done what will be said of us

This is who we are, not who we have to be

In the lasting aftermath of a tragedy

Don't wanna talk no more, I heard it all before

I just know that I don't want this on my heart no more

Speeding on a crash course with our final hour

Only thing that can bring us back is our finest hour

Excellence flow from every precious soul

Is the only way that I know to harness that kind of power

We can shine brighter, sing bigger, love louder

We can dream farther, hope harder, work smarter

This is that moment sand flowing through the hour glass

Is our only opponent that we have

Singing this song, let the whole world know

Let the choir sing

Singing this song, let the whole world know

Let the choir sing

Singing this song, let the whole world know

Let the choir sing

Singing this song, let the whole world know

All around the world, different song same message

Dignity in that spotlight and life's precious

When we raise voices, we're joining a chorus

You're not a solo, the harmony is enormous

Echo John Lennon, we echo Nina Simone

We echo my brother chuck d, that legacy lives on

And when the struggle stress you

Let it bless you, keep you strong

And may your voice live on forever in that song

Singing this song, let the whole world know

Let the choir sing

Singing this song, let the whole world know

Let the choir sing

Singing this song, let the whole world know

Let the choir sing

Singing this song, let the whole world know

Singing this song, let the whole world know

"And so if we want to get anywhere we have to be self-loving enough, to be honest with ourselves, to do some soul searching. I'm not talking about soul searching to see what's inside our soul, we got to find out what the hell happened to our soul. We've got to find that sh*t. I want my humanity back; I want to be a human being again. I want to live in a fair world, we've got to decide to rejoin the human family again. We're not talking about just this case, we not talking about just this issue, we're talking about whether or not we're going to be human beings again. Peace!"
