lyrics

I’m caught up in the news
Yeah, I’m caught up in the fire
It’s burning me up
How could they kill the people dancing free
How could they kill children and their families

There’s a terror in my heart
There’s a terror in my heart
It’s burning me up

Blown apart
There’s got to be a way
There’s got to be a way

so much hate,
I learned it from my father
Who learned it from his father
They killed his first born son
His son was just a boy
Playing in his front yard

Blown apart
There’s got to be a way
There’s got to be a way x2

There’s an anger in my heart
There’s an anger in my heart
It's burning me up

We’ve come too far
It’s been too long
There’s got to a way
Rising from the darkness
Rising from the pain
I am feeling something
It’s building me up

There’s a courage in my heart
There’s a courage in my heart
It’s building me up

There’s a love in my heart
There’s a love in my heart
It’s building me up

We are
Good people
Living good lives
We want
Good people
Living good lives x2

There’s a love in my heart
There’s a love in my heart
