Featuring THE McCRARY FOUNDATION YOUTH CHOIR

lyrics

I am you

Let us love each other
We’re all sisters and brothers
On this road together
Let us love each other

I see you marching
Marching in your streets
I hear you crying
Crying out for peace
But there’s one thing
I just can’t understand
How can you preach peace with a gun in your hand?

You give a man religion
And watch him build a wall
You give a man a title
And watch him start a war
You give a man a gun
And order him him to kill
But nothing comes from violence and nothing ever will

There’s blood on your streets
There’s blood in foreign lands
There’s blood crying out
From the palms of our hands
Blood is the ink
On our history’s page
Yes love must be the law if our history gunna change

So keep on marching
Marching in your streets
keep on crying
Crying out for peace
But there’s one thing
We got to understand
We can’t preach peace with a gun in our hand


Declare your independence
The land of the free
Justify your vengeance
As you curse your enemy
Oh but you are blind
How I wish that you could see
That I am you and you are me

So lets go marching
Marching in our streets
Lets go crying
Crying out for peace
Yes there’s one thing
We now understand
We can’t preach peace with a gun in our hand
We can’t preach peace with a gun in our hand
We can’t preach peace with a gun in our hand
