Make It Home Okay (Live)

We hold these truths to be so relevant
It's evident to me
We're all created equal
Every look, every smile, every conversation
There's so much beauty in people

And I hope you make it home okay tonight
I hope you know you looked so strong when you cried
Oh, I
I don't know how it feels to take another way home running for my life
But my heart cries with you tonight

I didn't catch your name
But we met on the street last night
Sometime after 8
And police were saying we should stay inside
I don't know if I ever witnessed
So much fear and innocence
When you said, "they're gonna kill me!
Would you help me
Find another way home?"
And we gave you directions
And you left and
Something's sunken in my chest
Like they would probably only arrest you, right?
But why'd you even have to ask the question, like
It was obvious you were still in your scrubs
Working at the hospital and saving someone
The color of your skin shouldn't come with a price
Please make it home alright

I hope you make it home okay tonight
I hope you know you looked so strong when you cried
Oh, I
I don't know how it feels to take another way home running for my life
But my heart cries with you tonight

And I hope you make it home okay tonight
I hope you know you looked so strong when you cried
Oh, I
I don't know how it feels to take another way home running for my life
But my heart cries with you tonight
Oh, my heart cries with you tonight
And I hope you make it home okay tonight
