Hoping for an answer, wishing for a dream,

Thinking this is crazy, things can’t be the way they seem.

The more I try to look away,

The stronger I feel pulled in.

When injustice is the cancer,

I can’t stand by and let it have the win.

It is not for me to accept prosperity at the expense of others,

In our hearts the truth is known, we’re all separate but equal brothers.

It matters that I join the fight, not certain where it will lead.

Because the cost of doing nothing, is a shame I do not need.
