It's erupting Pain and suffering Tears keep coming while they close their eyes You can try to deny but it's been here all the time We just turn the light on Feeling helpless, feeling done System's broken but not for some Hate has been here all the time Somebody turn the light on Darkness when you close the blinds Darkness when you close the blinds Darkness when you close the blinds Darkness when you close the blinds With hatred you're ill inside Crippled compassion, empathy lacking Generalizin' don't make you wise You could be the change Just turn the light on We march, we kneel, we pray From sunrise to sunset for a brand new day And when I say we, I mean the human race Not what's shown on TV, There's more outside the frame The whole color spectrum within White and black lives matter Artistry, paint a world in which we all live better And when I say we, I mean humanity, whichever gender And when I say we, I mean religiously Saint and sinners If this is the state of the art we still primitive It's finger painted on the walls with the blood of the innocent In a sentimental call on standing rock we represent Walls block but can't pause we the people's progressiveness Off the walls of hate, echo's change, ideas are bulletproof Free your mind world-wide, draw you blinds You might ensue Haiku d'etats through scripture a revolution spews DIY, do it for the youth and help who's next to you We are the people We are the people Our eyes are open We are the people The blinds are open We are the people Now love has spoken We are beautiful You can be the change Darkness when you close the blinds with hatred Darkness when you close the blinds with hatred
