I woke up in the early morning Had a dream of something burning Opened up a window so that I could maybe see I looked through the trees up to the sky It was bright and clear, I don't know why Still a vision struck me of a boy out in the street Far along and far away A boy so young despite his age Held down on his knees by a man who passed himself as blue He held an ear, he held an eye Held that boy's head I don't know why He said "If I cannot breathe I cannot I cannot believe, I cannot If I cannot breathe I cannot I cannot believe, I cannot And if I cannot breathe I can't believe" It's been so for so long Feels so wrong For so long On and on Still so wrong If you have a bone to pick Pick it with someone like you I woke up in the early morning Had a dream of something burning Opened up a window so that I could maybe see I looked through the trees up to the sky It was bright and clear, I don't know why If I cannot breathe I cannot I cannot believe, I cannot If I cannot breathe I cannot I cannot believe, I cannot And if I cannot breathe I can't believe, oh no If I cannot breathe I can't believe
