Lyrics
Lord Please answer our prayer
Lead us to our welfare
We're done living in fear
Cause we can't live
We can't breathe
We need justice
The innocent have been harmed
Give us strength to push on
This oppression's too long
Cause we can't live
We can't breathe
Where's the justice?
Tell me what has become of our rights?
It feels like every day still a fight
We keep on going with all of our might
If you're with us then we'll be alright
Too many things that we've had to endure
Too many times we've been knocked and abhorred
Its enough and it must be condemned
If not now Oh then when will it end?
Lord please answer our prayer
(Answer our prayer)
Lead us to our welfare
(To our Welfare)
We're done living in fear
Cause we can't live
We can't breathe
We need justice
(We can't breathe)
The innocent has been harmed
(We can't breathe)
Give us strength to push on
(Give us strength)
This oppression's too long
Cause we can't live
We can't breathe
We need justice
Where's our justice?
We need justice
Ooh
Ahh
And in a dream...
I hoped that we would all see better days
I know that all this pain won't be in vain
I hoped that Martins dreams would all come true
Because a change is more than overdue
(Overdue)
I hoped that we will work it out in time
I don't believe another live's worth more than mine
(More than mine)
Remember we are one, one human race
We're one of the same, one human race
We need Justice
Oh Lord hear our prayer
Na na
Na na na na
Cause we can't play (Tamir rice)
We cant pray (Charleston)
We need justice
And we cant speak (Stephon Clark)
Cant sell our CDs (Alton Sterling)
We need justice
And we cant run (Walter Scott, Amaud Arbery)
Can't stay at home (Bothem Sean, Breonna Taylor)
We need justice
And we cant read in the car seat (Keith Scott)
We need justice
Ooo oo
We cant sleep (Aiyana Jones)
We cant buy sweets (Trayvon Martin)
We need justice
And we can't even get a ticket (Sandra Bland)
We need justice
Oh oh lord
We can't stay (Windrush)
We cant fit in (Shukri)
We need Justice
For you said in your word that you love what is just
(Oh Lord)
So we trust in your word you will rise up for us
(Hear our prayer)
Oh the trials of the world they cannot bring us down
For the tide is to come and a change will be found
It's time for a change
It's time for change
Oh ooh oh
Ah ah, ah ah
Lord hear our prayer
(I can't breathe, we need justice)
I hoped that we would all see better days
I know that all this pain won't be in vain
I hoped that Martins dreams would all come true
Because a change is more than overdue
I hoped that we will work it out in time
I don't believe another live's worth more than mine
Remember we are one, one human race
One human race
We need Justice
