All Good People
There are dogs in the yard, howling at the moon
There are sinners like me, our judgment's coming soon
And I stand at the bottom of this dark and lonely well
Saying, "Please give me answers, so I might escape hell"
I watched from my window as they gunned down unarmed men
Tried to say it's not my problem, it couldn't happen to my friends
But the truth is they're my brothers, and they're my countrymen
And if we lose our better angels, we won't get them back again
Come on and raise your voice above the raging seas
We can't hold our breath forever
When our brothers cannot breathe
Come on and raise your voice above the raging seas
We can't hold our breath forever
When our sisters cannot breathe
All good people, won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
Defend your brothers
Well, I've been outside Atlanta, in Durham and Nashville
I spent years in California, in the valleys and the hills
And they say we've fixed the problem
Yeah, we all live the dream
But when shots ring out in Charleston
Tell me, who are the ones that bleed?
Come on and raise your voice above the raging seas
We can't hold our breath forever when our brothers cannot breathe
Come on and raise your voice above the raging seas
We can't hold our breath forever when our sisters cannot breathe
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Our brothers cannot breathe
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Our sisters cannot breathe
All good people, won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
All good people, won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
Defend your brothers
All good people, won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
Won't you come around? (Yeah)
All good people, won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
Hold up each other
All good people, won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
All good people, won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
Defend your brothers
All good people, won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
Won't you come around? (Won't you come around?)
All good people, won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
Hold up each other
There are sinners like me, our judgment's coming soon
And I stand at the bottom of this dark and lonely well
Saying, "Please give me answers, so I might escape hell"
I watched from my window as they gunned down unarmed men
Tried to say it's not my problem, it couldn't happen to my friends
But the truth is they're my brothers, and they're my countrymen
And if we lose our better angels, we won't get them back again
Come on and raise your voice above the raging seas
We can't hold our breath forever
When our brothers cannot breathe
Come on and raise your voice above the raging seas
We can't hold our breath forever
When our sisters cannot breathe
All good people, won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
Defend your brothers
Well, I've been outside Atlanta, in Durham and Nashville

Come on and raise your voice above the raging seas
We can't hold our breath forever when our brothers cannot breathe
Come on and raise your voice above the raging seas
We can't hold our breath forever when our sisters cannot breathe
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Our brothers cannot breathe
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Our sisters cannot breathe
All good people, won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
All good people, won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
Defend your brothers
All good people, won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
Won't you come around? (Yeah)
All good people, won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
Hold up each other
All good people, won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
All good people, won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
Defend your brothers
All good people, won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
Won't you come around? (Won't you come around?)
All good people, won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
Hold up each other
