The moon is risin’ in the sky The stars are twinklin’ in my eyes When the fire from the sun, melts into the one The night slowly arrives

What does it mean to be free from these prison walls? And what is the cost of separating myself from you? And is this privilege an illusion, created by the masterminds of resistance to change And if I was born to believe I was special, was I really just locked in a special cage And who really has the sickness Could this be what I have been avoiding all along And how come I can’t remember where it is, that I come from? Wooahhh How can we build this bridge over historical severance of centuries old If this struggle is not my own, I outta hear the stories I’d never been told If this struggle is not my own, I outta look at what I own If this struggle is not my own, then this land is not my home Woaahhh (Spoken Word) Open up and read the pages, of our human family book Slavery and massacre, its hard to take a look The war began, we don’t know why But it just keeps going, an eye for an eye It’s in our blood it’s in our bones, it broils and it brews Yet something like love is born in every baby new The war lives on if we live in denial The pain’s inside if we don’t grieve and reconcile There are ways, we’ve seen it done before Like South Africa after apartheid pain was heard and not ignored Honesty, forgiveness, we all want to heal And especially me, white folks, we have to keep it real What’s come before, it’s not my fault But do I uphold this whiteness cult? I reclaim my power, by knowing my culture And not by stealing other’s spirits like a vulture I am like a swan, a graceful bird in white I am equally the raven weaving spells through the night Let’s talk about it: race, and the shame I feel in my face The time I left my friend in the dust so I could win the race This is not a fairytale, this is not a ritual This is a worldwide illusion being brought to its funeral There is no human with more or less worth Like no grain of sand that deserves less to be on this Earth And I’m sorry for all of the hurt I’ve caused And I swear on the graves of my ancestors I will work to see it undone How can we build this bridge over historical severance of centuries old If this struggle is not my own, I outta hear the stories I’d never been told If this struggle is not my own, I outta look at what I own If this struggle is not my own, then this land is not my home Woahhhhhhhhhh

Keep your head above the water my daughter Keep your head above the water my son Listen to the wild, wild voice when she calls you Cause the river current is runnin’ strong Listen to the wisdom of your body Listen to the wisdom of your soul Listen to the wild, wild voice when she calls you Cause the river current is runnin’ strong When you made your prayers on the river bank Angels made a plan A course for you to follow your dreams Now the river beckons you in
