How Do We Heal

Alton, Philando, Trayvon, Tamir
 We love you
 We miss you
 We wish you were here
 Charleena, Sandra, Breonna, Korryn
 We'll say your names til we get to see you again
 I can't feel safe in my own home
 Can't put no hoodie on when it gets cold
 A new threat every day no big wow
 I don't how I'm supposed to feel now
 How do we heal from this
 How do we heal
 They keep on breaking us
 Like we can't feel
 We've all been shouting out
 Since Emmett Till
 How do we heal from this
 How do we heal
 Alton, Philando, Trayvon, Tamir
 We love you
 We miss you
 We wish you were here
 Charleena, Sandra, Breonna, Korryn
 We'll say your names til we get to see you again
 I can't feel safe in my own home
 Can't put no hoodie on when it gets cold
 A new threat every day no big wow
 I don't how I'm supposed to feel now
 How do we heal from this
 How do we heal
 They keep on breaking us
 Like we can't feel
 We've all been shouting out
 Since Emmett Till
 How do we heal from this
 How do we heal
 Say Their Names
 Say Their Names
 Say Their Names
 Say Their Names
 How do we heal from this
 How do we heal
 They keep on breaking us
 Like we can't feel
 We've all been shouting out
 Since Emmett Till
 How do we heal from this
 How do we heal
 How do we heal?
 I don't have the answer to this question
 As I'm still figuring it out myself
 Where do we even start?
 How do we heal if we are still experiencing trauma on a daily basis?
 Something's gotta shake
 That something has to be us
 We've gotta continue to speak up and act against racism
 Discrimination, and unjust treatment of any and all human beings
 Black lives matter, Black lives matter, Black lives matter!
 I say it three times because I'm the 3rd
 But we gon keep saying it until it's heard
 And I ain't talking about the hear you hear with your ears
 I'm speaking of the volumes that speak to your soul
 And resonate with your heart
 The longer I live, the more I realize there are no isolated incidents
 Most of this is systemic. The foundation was laid down incorrectly
 So, now it's time for us to correct it
 It was never great, you can't resurrect it
 And this is the work we can't accomplish separate
 We must work connected
 Until love is what we're left with
