Something's Gotta Give
"I can't breathe"
"I can't breathe"
Feet hurt from all of this marching
"I can't breathe"
My voice tired from all of this shouting and arguing
We need answers to all our questions
"I can't breathe"
But can anybody tell me why the system made for me
Fist bruised from all of the fighting
"I can't breathe"
My heart aches from all of the silence while we're dying
You see the nations divided
"I can't breath"
Oh, if we can't have no justice
Why would you ask for peace?
Something's gotta give
They tried to say they're threatened
When I just wanna live
Oh, something's gotta give
I know the lord is watching this
It's getting hard to forgive
And every morning when I wake up (wake up)
Wish I could change up everything
Like all the headlines in the paper (paper)
They never tell you everything
I made a wish on a star
To take us out of the dark
Don't know how much we can take before it's over
Something's gotta give
They tried to say they're threatened
When I just wanna live
Yeah, something's gotta give
I know the lord is watching this
Give me a heart to forgive
Give me a heart to forgive
Give me a heart
(Give me a heart to forgive)
Oh
"I can't breathe"
Feet hurt from all of this marching
"I can't breathe"
My voice tired from all of this shouting and arguing
We need answers to all our questions
"I can't breathe"
But can anybody tell me why the system made for me
Fist bruised from all of the fighting
"I can't breathe"
My heart aches from all of the silence while we're dying
You see the nations divided
"I can't breath"
Oh, if we can't have no justice
Why would you ask for peace?
Something's gotta give
They tried to say they're threatened
When I just wanna live
Oh, something's gotta give
I know the lord is watching this
It's getting hard to forgive
And every morning when I wake up (wake up)
Wish I could change up everything
Like all the headlines in the paper (paper)
They never tell you everything
I made a wish on a star
To take us out of the dark
Don't know how much we can take before it's over
Something's gotta give
They tried to say they're threatened
When I just wanna live
Yeah, something's gotta give
I know the lord is watching this
Give me a heart to forgive
Give me a heart to forgive
Give me a heart
(Give me a heart to forgive)
Oh
