verse
You know we need it, yeah
That's why we need you now, oh I
Pray for the world, pray for humanity
This is a God dream, yeah
verse
So why send oppression, not blessings?
Why oh why did you do me wrong?
Because it makes you feel so strong
Don't have much faith to fight
So I look up to the light
To make these wrongs turn right
verse
'Cause I know that you'll make everything alright
And I know that you'll take good care of your child
Oh, no longer am I afraid of the night
'Cause I, I look to the light
bridge
When they come for you, I will shield your name
I will field their questions, I will feel your pain, mmh
They don't, they don't know (they don't even know)
They don't, they don't know
They don't know (show them love)
They don't, they don't know (show them peace, show them empathy)
They don't, they don't know (that's what they need)
They don't know (that's what we need)
They don't, they don't know (all lives will matter)
They don't, they don't know (when Black lives matter)
They don't, they don't know (you gotta know when all live matter)
They don't, they don't know (Black lives will matter)
They don't, they don't know (hey)
