Fly
It's no crime when my will to live's been weaponized
What do you expect from me
It's no surprise when this state of mind's been glorified
Take it away from me
Our faces are covered, our bodies bare
They've painted these masks on and burned our hair
The pavement's our birthplace, our cradle, and we are left to wonder
Can we fly
The hand that reached down for me draws away
The mouth that spoke up has no more to say
The garden that this river nourished has dried into a desert
Tell me why, tell me why
It's not a crime when the will to strive is vilified
Why can't you ever see
It's no surprise when a people's been dehumanized
But we'll make you believe
Our faces are weeping but we still sing
We've painted a mural of precious things
The pavement is broken, but flowers still grow up from the roadside
We survive
The seconds are turning into passing years
We've loved and we've lost and we've hoped and feared
The city that made me has emptied but I will stay beside you
Until we fly
What do you expect from me
It's no surprise when this state of mind's been glorified
Take it away from me
Our faces are covered, our bodies bare
They've painted these masks on and burned our hair
The pavement's our birthplace, our cradle, and we are left to wonder
Can we fly
The hand that reached down for me draws away
The mouth that spoke up has no more to say
The garden that this river nourished has dried into a desert
Tell me why, tell me why
It's not a crime when the will to strive is vilified
Why can't you ever see
It's no surprise when a people's been dehumanized
But we'll make you believe
Our faces are weeping but we still sing
We've painted a mural of precious things
The pavement is broken, but flowers still grow up from the roadside
We survive
The seconds are turning into passing years
We've loved and we've lost and we've hoped and feared
The city that made me has emptied but I will stay beside you
Until we fly
