This is my prayer
Heal the land
Heal the city
Give us protection
Let us rise up
Stand together
Love each other
God, we need you now

I'm so sad watching the news
Looking at my phone, I don't know what to do
I'm a mixed kid. Half Asian, half black
I got mixed feelings when the police attack
Most are doing their job. Others are not
If you stereotyping, take us out of the box
We got a broken system and we need you Lord
I just want to be free. Is that too much to ask for

Not tomorrow Lord, but right away
Cuz not too many people still believe you're just a prayer away
From bringing love into a nation full of so much hate
And bringing freedom to my people and we smile again
Stop the killing so that we can heal and make a change
For the better 'cuz we tired of all the hurt and pain
Fighting hard to live and treated like we never mattered
But like birds in bad weather, we still stay together

This is my prayer, we stand as one
When my hands go up that they put down the guns
Gotta stop this, can't keep letting this happen
Does the color of my skin make you feel threatened
Times we living in are dangerous
Grace and mercy to the families that are losing us
And never ever let us cry about this again
And I know you will deliver, Father Amen

'Nother bullet leaves the gun, aimed with hatred, 'nother lost life
Wars fueled by division, watching Dr. King's Dream Die
Race placed on a pedestal, this coming from a white guy
It's ignorant to say racism died cuz it's alive
To say it isn't, means ya blind, makes it intensify
I recognize the tension and one thing I realize
It's gon take compromise from all sides, I can visualize
All races rising up and unified if we look up to Christ

I'm tired of the injustice, I'm tired of the foolishness
Guilty or innocent, we just tired of the shootings
We've all been in the chokehold, tired of the low blows
Life is beating us down. If you can't breathe, just let go
The month of February's not enough to celebrate us
Our people died for us to vote so use your right to make a statement
Black lives matter too, that's how we meant to say it
I protest love so I present the Savior

Protect and serve is what his badge say
But it would probably be a sad day if the cop is having a bad day
That's right we living in the last days
And a few bad cops got most cops looked at in a bad way
But all blacks ain't thugs and all cops ain't bad
Just wish the bad ones would drop their badge
Cuz every time that another dies
The grass at a  grave site gets watered with the tears of a mother's eyes

Protect the black man
Protect the policeman
No more violence
We want no more violence
Give us guidance
No more dying
No more crying
Would you show us the way
