American Reckoning |
| America's on fire |
| There's protests in the street |
| Her conscience has been looted |
| And her soul is under siege |
| Another mother's crying |
| As history repeats |
| I can't breathe |
| God damn those eight long minutes |
| Lying face-down in cuffs on the ground |
| Bystanders pleaded for mercy |
| As one cop shoved a kid in the crowd |
| When did a judge and a jury |
| Become a badge and a knee |
| On these streets? |
| Stay alive, stay alive |
| Shine a light, stay alive |
| Use your voice and you remember me |
| American reckoning |
| I'll never know what it's like |
| To walk a mile in his shoes |
| And I'll never have to have the talk |
| So it don't happen to you |
| Three little words written 'cross the chest |
| Of a twelve-year-old who hasn't lived life yet |
| "Am I next?" |
| "Am I next?" |
| Stay alive, stay alive |
| Shine a light, stay alive |
| Use your voice and you remember me |
| American reckoning |
| Is this a moment or movement? |
| Is this the tide or a flood? |
| Is our American reckoning |
| Our story written in blood? |
| Or in love? |
| Or in peace? |
| Stay alive, stay alive |
| Shine a light, stay alive |
| Use your voice and you remember me |
| Stay alive, stay alive |
| Shine a light, stay alive |
| Use your voice and you remember me |
| American reckoning |
| In our American reckoning |
