Too many guns on the streets And my heart can't take it no more Like Stevie said, "Love's in need." My heart cries out for Orlando Philando, Alton, Sandra, Mike Brown Garner, Trayvon, why? Too many people gone too soon Tell me how this happened Where did we go wrong? Say we stand together yet we choose to walk alone Blood covers our streets Hatred fills our home Gotta get this message out before I'm dead and gone We gotta make it better Something's gotta change The world needs your voice just to make it through the rain When I think of what's goin' on in this world Oh, it hurts me to see my sister not free My sister, my brother here with me Need freedom The world is cryin', no more sirens with guns and violence Need freedom We can't keep dyin', we're way too quiet, no more silence Need freedom Stop this evil, free my people, we're all equal Need freedom The world gets brighter, keep on tryin', keep on fightin' for freedom As I sit and think about All that's goin' on My soul just cries out Can you tell me please? Tell me who's to blame For causing all this pain? The ones we call to help us Turn and kill us everyday See, war is not the answer And love is what we need Take the chains off, Break the bondage Set my people free We gotta make it better Something's gotta change The world needs your voice just to make it through the rain When I think of what's goin' on in this world Oh, it hurts me to see my sister not free My sister, my brother here with me Need freedom The world is cryin', no more sirens with guns and violence Need freedom We can't keep dyin', we're way too quiet, no more silence Need freedom Stop this evil, free my people, we're all equal Need freedom The world gets brighter, keep on tryin', keep on fightin' for freedom Need freedom The world is cryin', no more sirens with guns and violence Need freedom We can't keep dyin', we're way too quiet, no more silence Need freedom Stop this evil, free my people, we're all equal Need freedom The world gets brighter, keep on tryin', keep on fightin' for freedom
