Look at these people
Look at their faces
Before us they are standing.
Broken
Bitter
And denied
It's time to stand with them
Time to right the wrongs
Tired of injustice
Tired of waiting so long
Aren't these people
The same us us
Their skin is dark
Our skin is light
But doesn't the same heart beat
In all of us
The same hopes
The same dreams
Pain and
Loss and
Love and
Grace and
Hope and
Life
Righteous and justified
Before us they are standing
So look at these people
Look at their faces.
