Salvation we pray
Upon the lord's name
To give a shout out
To all those killing in vain
Darkness,
From those whos eyes are not yet open
Fear
Arising as to what they do not know
Vengeance
On enemy lines not thought to be there
Blindness
Of the colors that we share
Between the black and white.
Give us now your undecided attention
How many of your own people
Must scream out in their affliction?
Can just one plea be heard and
May your aim be given more careful attention.
Sirens
From out from our control
License
To end lives on routine patrol
Breath
With one last to change the world.
Visions
Of the spectrum that's in store
Between the black and white
Color apprehendedly
Copping out the Hope I see
Feelings masking feelings
Over together epidemically
See through is the color
Of mankinds real greatest enemy
Mask covering mask
Over issues long been the death of me
A nation long sense divided
Has never stood as far as thee eye can see
What's a shame is what's not told
Of a promised world outside this mold
A paradise of man
Before the colors split their souls
A promised land restored
For all families to behold.
One Father over all the spectrum
Blurring lines
Between the black and white.
