Faded Stars and Stripes
I've been looking for answers
On how we wound up here
But you take a deep dive down through history, honey
And you'll find some reasons there
Well we say that we're united
While we hold on by a thread
When will we realize
It's not left versus right
It's darkness vs. the light
It's truth against the lies
If we could recognize
The hate that we've justified
Give love the chance to thrive
And heal this great divide
Oh these faded stars and stripes
I've been noticing somehow
A face that's white gets to stay alive
But oh if yours has got more melanin
You've got to hold on just to survive
Well we say that we're united
While we tear it all to shreds
When will we realize
It's not left versus right
It's darkness vs. the light
It's truth against the lies
If we could recognize
The hate that we've justified
Give love the chance to thrive
And heal this great divide
Oh these faded stars and stripes
I still believe we can take these unraveled seams
Make them all worth the fight
I still believe we can take all these tattered dreams
And bring them back towards the light
I still believe we can take these unraveled seams
Make them all worth the fight
I still believe we can take all these tattered dreams
And bring them back towards the light
When will we realize
It's not left versus right
It's darkness vs. the light
It's truth against the lies
If we could recognize
The hate that we've justified
Give love the chance to thrive
And heal this great divide
Oh these faded stars and stripes
On how we wound up here
But you take a deep dive down through history, honey
And you'll find some reasons there
Well we say that we're united
While we hold on by a thread
When will we realize
It's not left versus right
It's darkness vs. the light
It's truth against the lies
If we could recognize
The hate that we've justified
Give love the chance to thrive
And heal this great divide
Oh these faded stars and stripes
I've been noticing somehow
A face that's white gets to stay alive
But oh if yours has got more melanin
You've got to hold on just to survive
Well we say that we're united
While we tear it all to shreds
When will we realize
It's not left versus right
It's darkness vs. the light
It's truth against the lies
If we could recognize
The hate that we've justified
Give love the chance to thrive
And heal this great divide
Oh these faded stars and stripes
I still believe we can take these unraveled seams
Make them all worth the fight
I still believe we can take all these tattered dreams
And bring them back towards the light
I still believe we can take these unraveled seams
Make them all worth the fight
I still believe we can take all these tattered dreams
And bring them back towards the light
When will we realize
It's not left versus right
It's darkness vs. the light
It's truth against the lies
If we could recognize
The hate that we've justified
Give love the chance to thrive
And heal this great divide
Oh these faded stars and stripes
