Let us stand

March 2, 2013
Black and red is all I see, Police don't care to watch over me. Mama says it will be ok, But only if someone jumps in the fray. I grow older and understand, They all think we trespass on their land. I realize now what I have to do, I have to stand with him and with you. A single spark becomes a roaring blaze, We will convince them once we clear the haze. They aren't all evil they just don't understand, So let's show them the truth, come take my hand. We will stand up together firm and strong, We will show them our power and that they are wrong. If we don't try then who else will? We will band together and no longer stay still. We all are one nation not only them, We're just different leaves coming from the same stem. So let us stand up and show them the light, Because our lives are ours let's show them we're right.
