It's erupting
Pain and suffering
Tears keep coming while they close their eyes
You can try to deny but it's been here all the time
We just turn the light on.

Feeling helpless, feeling done
System's broken but not for some
Hate has been here all the time
Somebody turn the light on

Darkness when you close the blinds
Darkness when you close the blinds
Darkness when you close the blinds
Darkness when you close the blinds
With hatred you're ill inside

Crippled compassion, empathy lacking
Generalizin don't make you wise
You could be the change
Just turn the light on

We march, we kneel, we pray
From sunrise to sunset for a brand new day
And when I say we, I mean the human race
Not what's shown on TV,
There's more outside the frame
The whole color spectrum within
White and black lives matter
Artistry, paint a world in which we all live better
And when I say we, I mean humanity, whichever gender
And when I say we, I mean religiously
Saint and sinners
If this is the state of the art we still primitive
It's finger painted on the walls with the blood of the innocent
In a sentimental call on standing rock we represent
Walls block but can't pause we the people's progressiveness
Off the walls of hate, echo's change, ideas are bulletproof
Free your mind world-wide, draw you blinds
You might ensue
Haiku d'etats through scripture a revolution spews
DIY, do it for the youth and help who's next to you
We are the people

We are the people
Our eyes are open
We are the people
The blinds are open
We are the people
Now love has spoken
We are beautiful

You can be the change

Darkness when you close the blinds
Darkness when you close the blinds
Darkness when you close the blinds
Darkness when you close the blinds
With hatred you're ill inside
