Singing This Song

Singing this song let the whole world know, oh

Singing this song let the whole world know, oh

Let the choir sing

Singing this song let the whole world know, oh

Let the choir sing

Singing this song let the whole world know, oh

Singing this song let the whole world know, oh

Let the choir sing

Singing this song let the whole world know, oh

Blood on our hands, it's wetter than it ever was

We say it's gettin' better, yet it seldom does

Everybody wanna fuss, but what gets discussed?

When its all said and done, what'll be said of us?

This is who we are, not who we have to be

In the lasting aftermath of a tragedy

Don't wanna talk no more, I heard it all before

I just know that I don't want this on my heart no more

Speeding on a crash course with our final hour

Only thing that could bring us back is our finest hour

Excellence flow from every precious soul is the only way

That I know to harness that kind of power

We can shine brighter, sing bigger, love louder

We can dream farther, hope harder, work smarter

This is that moment, sand flowin' through the hourglass

Is our only opponent that we have, we own it

Singing this song let the whole world know, oh

Let the choir sing

Singing this song let the whole world know, oh

Let the choir sing

Singing this song let the whole world know, oh

Let the choir sing

Singing this song let the whole world know, oh

All around the world, different song, same message

Dignity in that spotlight and life's precious

When we raise voices, we're joining a chorus

You're not a solo, the harmony's enormous

Echo John Lennon, we echo Nina Simone

We echo my brother Chuck D, that legacy lives on

And when the struggle stress, you let it bless you, keep you strong

And may your voice live on forever in that song

Singing this song let the whole world know, oh

Let the choir sing

Singing this song let the whole world know, oh

Let the choir sing

Singing this song let the whole world know, oh

Let the choir sing

Singing this song let the whole world know, oh, oh
