Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
Sitting on my bed, scrolling through the news I read Another school shot, black friends dying in the street Thoughts and prayers ain’t enough, when too many cry I can’t breathe With each life that we take, I find myself crying It’s like we’re not trying, the choice is ours to make So divided by what we see on the surface This can’t be our purpose We can’t sit by, no time We need a new purpose Losing dads, losing kids, leaving moms, we grieve Lost so many to the war, a war we didn’t need The price we pay is great, for the freedom that we celebrate Filling cages with migrants in the south, we see Our broken promise, broken spirits, broken families We can’t be great with hate, only villains til we make a change With each life that we take, I find myself crying It’s like we’re not trying, the choice is ours to make So divided by what we see on the surface We need a new purpose Take a knee, bow a head, raise your voice and pray Oh, Lord will you guide us along the way Give a hand, take a stand, raise a fist, protest Be kind, love, unite That’s our purpose With each life that we take, I find myself crying It's like we're not trying, the choice is ours to make So divided by what we see on the surface This can’t be our purpose, no With each life that we take, I find myself crying We need to start trying, the choice is ours to make So divided by what we see on the surface This can’t be our purpose We can’t sit by, no time We need a new purpose
