Time For Change
When you come to fires raging before you
Fanning the flames is the worst thing you can do
Just calm the storm inside, keep a clear mind
And your heart beating steady and slow, ready to take the heat as you know
The indifference raging from his body
Is reason enough to show him love
As the terrible display before you is
His own perception of who he is
It takes not a magical power, it won't be a simple fix
Love spreads just the same as hate
We've got to push the dominoes back the other way
And if it were to be that our color swore us enemies
Tell me, please, how is it true that if your heart were to fail you
Your body would work the same
With my heart pumping the blood through your veins
Walk into the mess of it
Walk with me into conflict
With open arms of forgiveness
You know how much they'll need it when they
See the wreckage of their war
See that we all die the same
See that we can all inflict pain and suffering
It's not our eyes filled with disgust
It's not the barrels of our guns
That will ever do a goddamn thing
To discontinue these reruns
Why does our gentleness fade and strip us down to ill will and hate
Some dehumanize, which lends to despise
While others fear as they recognize that human exists in the difference
So, the hate is then born from the terror of a possibility
That something different will grow
To tear down a wall that divides
Is to once again let our grace rise
