Have you wondered what's going on lately
Turn on the news, everything has gone crazy
Nations are crumbling while others grow lazy
Turning blind eyes to the pain
Listen up, 'cause it definitely seems to me
Something is trying to take away our unity
Putting fear right back into diversity
When progress has yet to be made
When did it become ok to judge
Every other person just because
They don't all look the same as us
When did we close our eyes
If you think you're better than
Someone that you don't understand
Brother, let me remind you
The color you bleed is the color I bleed
And if we start to fight again
Fall down in selfish pride again
Brother let me remind you
The color you bleed is the color I bleed yeah
Young boy so happy as it seemed he
Grew up hoping he'd be everything he dreamed but
Couldn't shake all of the things people were telling him
Saying that he would end up in jail based on his melanin
Called him a criminal so that's what he became
But shortly after everything started to change
He heard love and it replenished his hope
Giving back the dreams that were broke so
When did it become so strange to love
Every other person just because
We realize they're the same as us
If we break down our guards and hear in our hearts that
If you think you're better than
Someone that you don't understand
Brother, let me remind you
The color you bleed is the color I bleed
And if we start to fight again
Fall down in selfish pride again
Brother let me remind you
The color you bleed is the color I bleed yeah
It's time that we break our silence
Stand up against the violence
If we let love take the place of
Hatred it won't define us
Lets tear down the walls between us
Share in each others weakness
If we let love take the place of
Hatred it won't defeat us
If you think you're better than
Someone that you don't understand
Brother, let me remind you
The color you bleed is the color I bleed
And if we start to fight again
Fall down in selfish pride again
Brother let me remind you
The color you bleed is the color I bleed
