lyrics

This is the color of the day
I’m tired of seeing from a sheltered place
Who am I to speak?
I’ve never known your song, so I’ll turn the other cheek

The world, is aflame
the makers and the martyrs burn to grey
Your words, are ablaze
Signs being struck by bullets
Raised to say ‘I cannot breathe’

These are the words I can say
Use my voice if you wish, but I’ve never known my place
Hands up, do not shoot.
No justice, no peace, No luxury, no loot.

The world, is aflame
the victims and the bullies burn to grey
My words, are ablaze
Signs being struck by bullets raised to say

‘I cannot breathe’ oh oh oh oh

This is the color of the day
Raise it up like a flag whose honor we will weigh
Our words, are ablaze
Signs being shot by cameras work to say

Our words, our words will be louder
Above and beyond the armor
Our words, our words will have power
Above and beyond the armor
Our words, our words will ring louder than their guns

I’m gonna breathe oh oh oh oh
Yes, we will breathe oh oh oh oh
We’re gonna breathe oh oh oh oh
(Our words, our words will be louder, Above the armor)
We’re gonna breathe oh oh oh oh
(Our words, our words will be louder, Above the armor)
