Can’t Breathe

A black man killed

His pain runs dark and deep

Millions of people, rise up…take to the streets 

Outrage, tears, call for respect

First things first 

Get the knee off our neck 

Can’t breathe 

Down so long, so wrong

Enough is enough

They listen to their merchants of fear

but do not hear us 

Brothers, sisters, rise and resist    

America the beautiful    

you’re better than this  

Can’t breathe 

Tear gas, handcuffs   

The march goes on  

Night of the soul

Still looking for dawn   

A moment, a movement, awakening

Tear down the old walls  

Let the light in…  

Storm is coming  

Change is in the wind 

Open up your hearts, hear the caged bird sing

Black, brown, white – one human race

Equal, free, walk together in grace 

Let us breathe

Let us believe
