Rise Up For Me
RISE UP FOR ME!!!
I never hear your laughter
No matter the depth of my plea
Your smile, your voice, your presence
Forever absent from my new reality!
Each day, I search for meaning
As to why you are gone
My questions never answered
Every minute, empty and long
Endless tears won't change a thing
I know because I've cried
Endless words won't bring you JUSTICE
I know because I've tried
No accountability, for my child's death?
Death by cop, the majority disagree.
Broken families, Stolen lives
They kill at will, we are no longer free!
Even if a jury finds them guilty
Very few years they will see
When they intentionally kill our children?
Exactly, why we respect taking a knee!
We visit our children at their grave
The pain we cannot flee
When cops kill at will, we hear our kids say, RISE UP FOR ME
