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
