The streets flooded
With the cries of the oppressed
The energy flowing
of humanity regressed
Eyes open
tears run down each face
of the cruelty and ignorance
of our own human race
It is black and white
And not just human beings
They march on the street
And they don't know what they are seeing
Blinded by the ignorance
They were raised with from the start
The fear of differences which drives us all apart
Rise up to ignorant
Rise up for civil peace
Rise up for the acceptance for all humanity
Rise up and be the change you want to see
