A Plea For Power - Slaves To An Invisible Line

Like children we are
Caught between the lies they tell
And the truth that we can see
With our very eyes
They have chosen to hide behind
The very thing that divides
Like children we are
Clinging to that which divides us
Stuck on a lie
Judging my skin
It makes you better than I
What do you see
Other than who I am
Who i choose to be
When everyone strives just to make a name for themselves

You said all lives matter
But we have seen
No lives matter
Until we address these things

You destroy
God bless America
Terrorize
When all that we ask
Land of the free
Is peace in our lives
Land of the slave
You seek to control
By division alone
And some have taken the bait
Because of the hate already in their hearts

We said
Black lives matter
But we continue to see that
No lives will matter until we address these things

But it seems
It was all done by design
But it seems
It was all done by design

We knelt you said stand up
We marched you said sit down shut up
We've lived we've fought
we've bled we've died
All for a simple right
Just to stay alive
