At a Time Like This (feat. MaKenzie Thomas)

Momma called me late last night

She said there’s been another shooting

It’s like our lives are nothing but wastes now

And the world is polluted

I used to tell her "momma stop that worrying”

Now I’m telling it to myself

Cause when I turn on the news

All I seem to view is that the world could use some help

People are dying by the hand of those we trust

Tragedy used to be so far away but now tragedy’s here with us

And though sometimes it may be hard to find relief

In my heart I still have reason to believe

(At a time like this)

Brother to brother, why can’t we seem to love one another

(At a time a like this)

Regardless of color, we’re burdened with the same kind of struggle

At a time when we're fighting to breathe

And our people are crying for peace

At a time like this

At a time like this

Some follow Martin

Some follow Malcolm

Turn a cheek, use a fist

People gun toting, cop cars burning

Arguing in the comments

Praying God let 'em know, that love is the goal

Had Vietnam, we don’t want that no more

Knowing they see that we’re all desperate for peace

But no one’s listening

(At a time like this)

Brother to brother, why can’t we seem to love one another

(At a time like this)

Regardless of color, we’re burdened with the same kind of struggle

At a time when we're fighting to breathe

And our people are crying for peace

At a time like this

At a time like this yes yes

(At a time like this)

Brother to brother, why can’t we seem to love one another

(At a time like this)

Regardless of color, we’re burdened with the same kind of struggle

At a time when we're fighting to breathe

And our people are crying for peace

At a time like this

At a time like this oh oh oh

We shall overcome

We shall all be one (said we shall all be one)

(Be one one day) we shall overcome (hey yeah)

We shall all be one (we shall all be one)

We shall overcome

We shall all be one

We shall overcome

We shall all be one
