Joy Oladokun - i see america - Live From Bonnaroo lyrics

Artist: Joy Oladokun

album: i see america (Live From Bonnaroo)


Alright, so as you know, the world looks a little different than it did the last time we were getting together
And you know, the thing that I keep thinking about is that there is just a generation of people who are learning to be loving and compassionate
And to speak truth to power, and to fight against the systems that continue to cheat and oppress people And to push for the good
And I have searched for it that so many of who watching this are part of that group
And I say keep up the good fight
And this song' I see America' is for you
I saw God out on the block today
He was darker than the preachers say
With a teardrop tattooed on his face
And dirt in his fingers
I heard angels when he laughed the way
That people do when they have known true pain
For his sins I don't know who's to blame
What choice was he giving?
In this world that we're living
When I see you
I see love
I see America
I feel your pain
I share your blood
I see America
Said your mother knows a different time
She let's her tongue slip with a glass of wine
Says some things out loud that don't feel right
But you always forgive her
Don't you see the world is changing now?
The blood of the fallen cries out from the ground
Violence and rumors in a southern town
Both start with a whisper
But so does the difference
When I see you
I see life
I see America
I feel your pain
I share your blood
I see America
When I see you
I see love
I see America
I feel your pain
I share your blood
I see America
When I see you (I see you)
I see love (I see love)
I see America (I see you, I see love)
I feel your pain (feel your pain)
I share your blood (share your blood)
I see America
Thanks for having us Bonnaroo, be well
