Edmund Pettus Bridge |
We saw ourselves with greater dreams |
And learned we could not overcome our disease |
Skies for spacious obsequious |
From cradle to grave they deliver to us |
And rip our hearts from our chest |
Let’s talk about hope |
We need a little sympathy |
I think about my country |
Through the lens of history |
Let’s talk about privilege |
Impeding resolution |
And one billion hearts entwined in revolution |
But there’s no substance |
No exceptional design to see it through |
Crusade against such ignorance |
Like moths to a flame without hope or defense |
Intemperate discord shepherds no reward |
A traitorous few left to fall on their swords |
And fight until their dying breath |
Let’s talk about hope |
We need a little sympathy |
I think about my country |
Through the lens of history |
Let’s talk about privilege |
Impeding resolution |
And one billion hearts entwined in revolution |
But there’s no substance |
No exceptional design to see it through |
No deeper threat no higher cause |
No greater pretext to renunciate the letter of the law |
I’m every woman I’m every man |
And I’m every non binary hominid in this free and open land |
See us catch fire not for the faint |
Hearts disconnected we cannot wait |
This bitter wind will leave no trace |
Young hearts in triumph we must erase |
We must erase |
