Innocent Lives
Just to think of my little boys with dark hair and dark skin
How to tell them that they're not safe on the street
Where do I begin?
To say justice is blind
Is a shortsighted lie
If color don't matter why is color first to die?
I'm calling for change
To the injustice, stand and fight
I'm calling for change
I'm begging that we will set this right
That we won't lose more innocent lives
Just to think of all that's lost when violence steals a life
Oh humanity why do we become the ugly side
If we say nothing at all
We are endorsing the crime
It's time that we stand up
And regard the human life
Oh, I'm calling for change
To the injustice, stand and fight
I'm calling for change
I'm begging that we will set this right
That we won't lose more innocent lives (oh-oh)
Oh, innocent lives
Innocent lives
The innocent lives, ohhh
Oh, I'm calling for change
Through all injustice, stand and fight
I'm calling for change (oh, I'm calling for change)
I'm begging that we make things right
That we won't lose more innocent lives
Oh, innocent lives
Oh-oh-oh
Mm
And we'll protect those innocent lives
How to tell them that they're not safe on the street
Where do I begin?
To say justice is blind
Is a shortsighted lie
If color don't matter why is color first to die?
I'm calling for change
To the injustice, stand and fight
I'm calling for change
I'm begging that we will set this right
That we won't lose more innocent lives
Just to think of all that's lost when violence steals a life
Oh humanity why do we become the ugly side
If we say nothing at all
We are endorsing the crime
It's time that we stand up
And regard the human life
Oh, I'm calling for change
To the injustice, stand and fight
I'm calling for change
I'm begging that we will set this right
That we won't lose more innocent lives (oh-oh)
Oh, innocent lives
Innocent lives
The innocent lives, ohhh
Oh, I'm calling for change
Through all injustice, stand and fight
I'm calling for change (oh, I'm calling for change)
I'm begging that we make things right
That we won't lose more innocent lives
Oh, innocent lives
Oh-oh-oh
Mm
And we'll protect those innocent lives
