One People Lornabelle Gethers
Some choose to call it Southern pride,
But racism is alive, it has never died.
Killed our preachers, family and friends,
So kill it now with love, equality - bring it to an end!
It starts with the one looking back at you in the mirror,
So be a light of change and not that of a dimmer.
Look at yourself and let's end all of this confusion'
Because without your part there can be no evolution.
Enough of the chit chat, enough of the chatter,
Get it in your heart that black lives do matter.
Do your part to stop racism, hatred and murders,
Start with yourself first and then we can look a little further.
Stop the racist jokes, no more sheets and sacks,
Look past the differences, your white or black,
Set aside your prejudice, the mentality of the pack,
Treat everyone the same, or you ain't doing jack,
But feeding into the hatred of days that should've long ago passed.
Do the right thing always, even if against the mass.
Learn to love one another and be your brother's keeper,
Sow some goodness in this earth, because we all will be the reaper.
Treat everyone right, before things get more lethal,
We all bleed red, so we should all be one people!
(Lornabelle is the woman leading the chant yesterday on the bridge to Peace walk. ("One Race, the human Race, we are all one people")
