Life, peace, and liberty
Can I get some unity
Divided by community
Misguided by hypocrisy
It's astounding
It's astounding to me
There really is no need
To hate, but we only see
What we choose to believe
No one listen's when we speak
Humans without humanity
Where's the humanity
Oh, say, can you see
With blood on your hands
And broken bottles at your feet
Oh, say, can you see
The beauty of the land
Beneath bleeding liberty
Rights should not be debated
Even with dilapidated
Systems that don't work for us
How are we supposed to trust
How are we supposed to love
Fear should not govern us
Love should unite us
Long enough to rise up
Long enough to speak up
For those who don't have our luck
Oh, say, can you see
With blood on your hands
And broken bottles at your feet
Oh, say, can you see
The beauty of the land
Beneath bleeding liberty
Love is all we have
It's all we have left
I'm not free
If you're not free
If you let him bleed
Out in the street
If she can't lead
If he can't breathe
Oh, say, can you see
With blood on your hands
And broken bottles at your feet
Oh, say, can you see
The beauty of the land
Hey
Can you see them bleeding
Hey
Can you hear me pleading
Beneath bleeding liberty
