Singing this song
Brother aliSinging this song, let the whole world know
Let the choir sing
Singing this song, let the whole world know
Let the choir sing
Singing this song, let the whole world know
Singing this song, let the whole world know
Let the choir sing
Singing this song, let the whole world know
Blood on our hands, it's wetter than it ever was
We say it's getting better yet it seldom does
Everybody wanna fuss but what gets discussed
When it's all said and done what will be said of us
This is who we are, not who we have to be
In the lasting aftermath of a tragedy
Don't wanna talk no more, I heard it all before
I just know that I don't want this on my heart no more
Speeding on a crash course with our final hour
Only thing that can bring us back is our finest hour
Excellence flow from every precious soul
Is the only way that I know to harness that kind of power
We can shine brighter, sing bigger, love louder
We can dream farther, hope harder, work smarter
This is that moment sand flowing through the hour glass
Is our only opponent that we have
Singing this song, let the whole world know
Let the choir sing
Singing this song, let the whole world know
Let the choir sing
Singing this song, let the whole world know
Let the choir sing
Singing this song, let the whole world know
All around the world, different song same message
Dignity in that spotlight and life's precious
When we raise voices, we're joining a chorus
You're not a solo, the harmony is enormous
Echo John Lennon, we echo Nina Simone
We echo my brother chuck d, that legacy lives on
And when the struggle stress you
Let it bless you, keep you strong
And may your voice live on forever in that song
Singing this song, let the whole world know
Let the choir sing
Singing this song, let the whole world know
Let the choir sing
Singing this song, let the whole world know
Let the choir sing
Singing this song, let the whole world know

"And so if we want to get anywhere we have to be self-loving enough, to be honest with ourselves, to do some soul searching. I'm not talking about soul searching to see what's inside our soul, we got to find out what the hell happened to our soul. We've got to find that sh*t. I want my humanity back I want to be a human being again. I want to live in a fair world, we've got to decide to rejoin the human family again. We're not talking about just this case, we not talking about just this issue, we're talking about whether or not we're going to be human beings again. Peace!"
