Written by Cary Ann Hearst, Michael Trent
Black lives, white lives, yellow lives, red Let's all come together and share the bread Let's all join hands and share the dread Black lives, white lives, yellow lives, red Too many dying, too many dead Black lives, white lives, yellow lives, red Let's all come together and bow our heads
Talkers talk but nothing gets said Nothing gets done and the hate, it spreads All mothers and families hang their heads And children weeping in their beds
Blood was bled and tears were shed While that sorry rag flies overhead That blocks the light but not the lead That blinds the proud with pride instead While the poor go hungry and the fat get fed Black lives, white lives, yellow lives, red
Everybody's scared you can see it or not Looking to see what the other one's got Walking down the street to your usual spot Everybody trying to not get shot
If Black lives, white lives, yellow lives, red Can all come together and share the bread We could all join hands and share the dread Black lives, white lives, yellow lives, red
