Find a Heart
I pray
That the voices of hundreds dead
Echo in the back of your head
While you're sleeping in your bed
And I hope
You're haunted by the babies' cries
And their faces flash through your mind
Like they do in mine until you find a heart
From somewhere find a heart
I hope you find a heart
From somewhere find a heart
And when you find that heart
I hope this breaks your heart
Just like it breaks my heart
Hope this breaks your heart
How do you sleep
Knowing that we're dying in the streets?
You stand aside and watch us bleed
Can't you tell that we can't breathe?
But what if
A bully with a badge and a gun
Took the life of your only son
Before it really had begun
Maybe then you'd find a heart
From somewhere find a heart
Hope you find a heart
Somewhere find a heart
And when you find that heart
I hope this breaks your heart
Just like it breaks my heart
Hope this breaks your heart
It could be my brother, it could be my man
It could be my sister, it could be my best friend
It could be my neighbor, it could be my kin
It could be anybody with this black skin
It could be my brother, it could be my man
It could be my sister, it could be my best friend
It could be my neighbor, it could be my kin
It could be anybody with this black skin
Oh, anybody with this black skin
Oh
'Til you find that heart
From somewhere find a heart
Hope you find a heart
A heart
That the voices of hundreds dead
Echo in the back of your head
While you're sleeping in your bed
And I hope
You're haunted by the babies' cries
And their faces flash through your mind
Like they do in mine until you find a heart
From somewhere find a heart
I hope you find a heart
From somewhere find a heart
And when you find that heart
I hope this breaks your heart
Just like it breaks my heart
Hope this breaks your heart
How do you sleep
Knowing that we're dying in the streets?
You stand aside and watch us bleed
Can't you tell that we can't breathe?
But what if
A bully with a badge and a gun
Took the life of your only son
Before it really had begun
Maybe then you'd find a heart
From somewhere find a heart
Hope you find a heart
Somewhere find a heart
And when you find that heart
I hope this breaks your heart
Just like it breaks my heart
Hope this breaks your heart
It could be my brother, it could be my man
It could be my sister, it could be my best friend
It could be my neighbor, it could be my kin
It could be anybody with this black skin
It could be my brother, it could be my man
It could be my sister, it could be my best friend
It could be my neighbor, it could be my kin
It could be anybody with this black skin
Oh, anybody with this black skin
Oh
'Til you find that heart
From somewhere find a heart
Hope you find a heart
A heart
