[Ten Million Years] is the song that would give birth to my #LyricalProtest campaign. I wanted to contribute to the soundtrack of the new civil rights movement and this is what was in my heart.

Lyrics:
Thank you heaven for this melody
Thank you stars for shining down on me
Thank you fire for burning my sins
Thank you salt and water, I dive and I cleanse
I know not my Lord, if we're the only ones
I'm a slave to their hearts, my daughter and son
And justice, I search for it still
We called them for help, but they came and they killed
I know not my Lord, if we're the only ones
But it hurts when there's love, and it hurts when there's none
It's been ten million years of man-to-man cruelty
Was it part of the plan, will it always be
I know not my Lord, if we're the only ones
I'm a slave to their hearts, my daughter and son
And justice, I search for it still
We called them for help, but they came and they killed
I know not my Lord, if we're the only ones
But it hurts when there's love, and it hurts when there's none
It's been ten million years of man-to-man cruelty
Was it part of the plan, will it always be
It's been ten million years, of man-to-man cruelty
Was it part of the plan, will it always be
