Revolution of the Heart
Times they are a changing
Rise up and stand apart
Retribution's no solution
Start a revolution of the heart
Down by the sea of Galilee
The Son of man proclaimed
Preach the word until all have heard
Kingdom coming in our day
Eight and one half minutes
Lying face down on the ground
"Help me please I can not breathe"
Three policemen hold him down
In a land that's known as freedom
Too many black lives being stilled
Murder by knee in the first degree
For a twenty dollar bill
Ahmad Aubrey Alton Sterling
Breonna Taylor Michael Brown
Wanted to be free like you and me
But injustice cut them down
Four hundred years of mothers' tears
Can't take it anymore
C'mon let's meet down in the street
March for peace and end this war
"I have a dream,"
Cried Dr. King in 1963
What's wrong - what's right
It's black and white
Comes down to you and me
New York to Seattle
Paris, Sydney, London town
One heart one mind one million protest signs
Sacred stones come tumbling down
Through the smoke and ash and broken glass
George's precious little girl
She smiles and sings
Church bells ring
"My daddy changed the world!"
Times they are a changing
Rise up and stand apart
Retribution's no solution
Start a revolution of the heart
Down by the sea of Galilee
The son of man proclaimed
Preach the word til all have heard
Kingdom coming in our day
We are the dream
Of Dr. King in '63
What's wrong - what's right
It's black and white
Comes down to you and me
Rise up and stand apart
Retribution's no solution
Start a revolution of the heart
Down by the sea of Galilee
The Son of man proclaimed
Preach the word until all have heard
Kingdom coming in our day
Eight and one half minutes
Lying face down on the ground
"Help me please I can not breathe"
Three policemen hold him down
In a land that's known as freedom
Too many black lives being stilled
Murder by knee in the first degree
For a twenty dollar bill
Ahmad Aubrey Alton Sterling
Breonna Taylor Michael Brown
Wanted to be free like you and me
But injustice cut them down
Four hundred years of mothers' tears
Can't take it anymore
C'mon let's meet down in the street
March for peace and end this war
"I have a dream,"
Cried Dr. King in 1963
What's wrong - what's right
It's black and white
Comes down to you and me
New York to Seattle
Paris, Sydney, London town
One heart one mind one million protest signs
Sacred stones come tumbling down
Through the smoke and ash and broken glass

We are the dream
Of Dr. King in '63
What's wrong - what's right
It's black and white
Comes down to you and me
