I dreamed, one day, of peace
I dreamed, one day, with passion
I dreamed that we would cease
Our hate-filled interactions
A brother could love another
A sister could support her kin
They could do these things for each other
Without inner turmoil sinking in
Whites shook hands with blacks
Not just for the pictures
They actually had each other's backs
And put away their differences
All communities came together
Under a rainbow colored flag
We treated each other better
No one called anyone a f**.
We were on common ground for once
We were equal in each other's eyes
Unity is what everyone wants
Too bad that everyone lies
Because in the streets there's rage
At the ongoing, brutal, police state
And just like when they locked me in a cage
Someone else is controlling our fate
But in this dream I had, it seemed real
People looked so happy
Then I woke up, and here's the deal
They were laughing. Laughing at me
Now, I will never understand
Everyone's different points of view
But isn't that reason enough to take a stand
Isn't that why He made me and He made you
So it's ok to be different. Be yourself
Everyone else is taken
Band together to offer your help
Allow our sleeping peace to be awakened
We can all do our part in the streets
Fighting for what we're after
Pride month is halfway over
But when we're done celebrating,
BLACK LIVES STILL MATTER
