Just to think of my little boys with dark hair and dark skin How to tell them that they're not safe on the street Where do I begin? To say justice is blind Is a shortsighted lie If color don't matter why is color first to die? I'm calling for change To the injustice, stand and fight I'm calling for change I'm begging that we will set this right That we won't lose more innocent lives Just to think of all that's lost when violence steals a life Oh humanity why do we become the ugly side If we say nothing at all We are endorsing the crime It's time that we stand up And regard the human life Oh, I'm calling for change To the injustice, stand and fight I'm calling for change I'm begging that we will set this right That we won't lose more innocent lives (oh-oh) Oh, innocent lives Innocent lives The innocent lives, ohhh Oh, I'm calling for change Through all injustice, stand and fight I'm calling for change (oh, I'm calling for change) I'm begging that we make things right That we won't lose more innocent lives Oh, innocent lives Oh-oh-oh Mm And we'll protect those innocent lives
