Open Scars
I'm not gonna go and just pretend
That everything's gonna be all right
When there's no freedom around this world
Spreading darkness and not the light
How is everybody all the same
When some people think it's all a game
I don't even care if someone
Asked If I wanted to play
Play a man who came in
With open scars
Then was chained on
Behind the bars
The ground system in our justice
Will be held to spread your message
That I never came in
With open scars
There's a time we gotta lose
Doesn't mean we don't have to win
I know the big guy who keeps us strong
And cleanses up and forgives our sins
He heals our bodies and returns our skin
He keeps us together in unity
He's the shelter and strong tower
That set us free
He's the man who came in
With open scars
Then was chained on
Behind the bars
The ground system in our justice
Will be held to spread your message
That I never came in
With open scars
These people were slaved
Now we are saved
This is our time to commemorate
Sing a song of freedom
Every tounge every tribe every race
MLK Malcom X Rosa Parks
Fredrick Douglas Thurgood Marshall
Clarence Thomas Maya Angelou
Ruby Bridges
We recognize we're all the same
So why don't we stop with all the games
It's our movement to express ourselves
So why wait
For a man who came in
With open scars
Then was chained on
Behind the bars
The ground system in our justice
Will be held to spread your message
That I never came in
With open scars
I never came in I never came in
I never came in
I never came in
With open scars
I never came in I never came in
I never came in
I never came in
With open scars
That everything's gonna be all right
When there's no freedom around this world
Spreading darkness and not the light
How is everybody all the same
When some people think it's all a game
I don't even care if someone
Asked If I wanted to play
Play a man who came in
With open scars
Then was chained on
Behind the bars
The ground system in our justice
Will be held to spread your message
That I never came in
With open scars
There's a time we gotta lose
Doesn't mean we don't have to win
I know the big guy who keeps us strong
And cleanses up and forgives our sins
He heals our bodies and returns our skin
He keeps us together in unity
He's the shelter and strong tower
That set us free
He's the man who came in
With open scars
Then was chained on
Behind the bars
The ground system in our justice
Will be held to spread your message

That I never came in
With open scars
I never came in I never came in
I never came in
I never came in
With open scars
I never came in I never came in
I never came in
I never came in
With open scars
