lyrics

Your vote is your voice, they say.
Not much of a voice these days-
Silent indoors - that's where they want you to stay.

Blood on our hands.
Now we're sharing it on instagram.
Suddenly chic to give a damn.

There's nothing new, we just started looking
Not a moment too soon to join in the fight
If I look like you do more listening than speaking
It's past time to make it right

Don't go away when the cameras go home
Show up each day, a long road
Making mistakes and we're causing more pain
Sit with the shame - it's slow
It's slow

So take to the streets,
Use that privilege like a shield,
Sheltering those who've suffered too long.
Your vote is your voice, sure, so are your dollars and your time.
We have a choice. Let's step out of line.

'Cause there's nothing new, we just started looking
Not a moment too soon to stand in the fight
If I look like you, do more listening than speaking
It's past time to make it right.

It doesn't happen overnight.
A long and steady fight.
Together, we can start to make it right.
