lyrics

They say that we’re free then I turn on our news
And another sister's been taken too
They tell us we’re brave when we march in the streets
Not understanding we’re marching for our own humanity

So I say be quiet to the man who talks in my ear with the privilege but no initiative
I say be quiet to the voice won’t disappear but is unsettled when I don’t play the game

Be smart, our legacy will long outlast (us)

I cannot wait for the day
Take my breath away
These times I’ll wait

I cannot wait for the day
Take my breath away
These times I’ll wait
