I think I have never been brave
Well trained to be afraid
Of the people who don't look like me
And that is all I see
And I think when I walk in the room that
That's how it must feel for you
Cause you've seen my face on the evening news
Or someone just like me
You're afraid, and you're ready to fight
But you don't care who and what for
And the dream of your life was broken
You don't know what is in store
Tell me, when you watch the news
Does it seal your certitude
In the message that was brought to you
By the banks that own your homes
Can we start checking out of
Our own brands of devout
Could the flags be buried in the ground
Instead of draping someone's bones
You're afraid and you're ready to fight
You don't care who and what for
And the dream of your life has been broken
You don't know what is in store
Well I've been there before
Why do we equivocate
Between what we feel and what we say
And what we want to believe
Is the decency we seek
Cause It's not a gift to belong
Or feel safe where you were born
But I count in my fears
My city, my home, my own
Who cares for blood or flags forgotten
Or some miss-remembered king
Should your personhood be stolen
For anything
Do you think we will it into being
Is this what everybody dreaming
Cause I don't see it
No, I don't see it
No, I don't see it
No, I don't see it
You're afraid, and you're ready to fight
But you don't know who and what for
And the dream of your life has been broke
You don't know what is in store
Well I think, maybe its better we've woke
Maybe its better we've woke
Maybe its better we've woke
We get to moving on
Do you think we will it into being?
Is this what everybody dreaming?
