Brother Ali - Singing This Song lyrics

Singing this song let the whole world know
Singing this song let the whole world know
Let the choir sing
Singing this song let the whole world know
Let the choir sing
Singing this song let the whole world know
Singing this song let the whole world know
Let the choir sing
Singing this song let the whole world know

Blood on our hands
It’s wetter than it ever was
We say it's getting better
Yet it seldom does
Everybody wanna fuss but what gets discussed
When it's all said and done what
Will be said of us?
This is who we are not who we have to be
In the lasting aftermath of a tragedy
Don’t wanna talk no more
I heard it all before
I just know that I don’t want
This on my heart no more
Speeding on a crash course
With our final hour
Only thing that can bring us
Back is our finest hour
Excellence flow from every precious
Soul is the only way that i know to
Harness that kind of power
We can shine brighter, sing bigger
Love louder
We can dream farther, hope harder
Work smarter this is that moment
Sand flowing through the hourglass
Is our only opponent that we have, we own it!

All around the world different
Song same message
Dignity in that spotlight and life’s precious
When we raise voices, we’re joining a chorus
You’re not a solo, the harmony is enormous
Echo John Lennon we echo Nina Simone
We echo my brother Chuck D
That legacy lives on
And when the struggle stress you
Let it bless you keep you strong
And may your voice live on
Forever in that song

Wallace D mohammed
Dr betty and Malcom Shabazz
Coretta and Martin King let the choir sing
Gil Scott Heron bob Dylan
Eyedea let the choir sing
Angela Davis cornel West
Tim Wise let the choir sing
Leonard Peltier asata Shakur
Mumia Abu Jamal

Let the choir sing
Singing this song let the whole world know
Singing this song let the whole world know
Singing this song let the whole world know
Singing this song let the whole world know

And so if we want to get anywhere we have to
Be self loving enough, to
Be honest with ourselves
To do some soul searching!
I’m not talking about soul searching to
See what’s inside our soul
We got to find out what the hell happened
To our soul we’ve got to find
That shit i want my humanity back i
Want to be a human being again
I don’t want this shit on my
Conscience no more! I want
To live in a fair world we’ve got to decide
To rejoin the human family again
We’re not talking about just
This case, we not talking
About just this issue
We’re talking about whether or not we’re
Going to be human beings again peace!
Singing this song let the whole world know
Singing this song let the whole world know
