BLUE LIGHTS (BLACK LIVES MATTER) Lyrics

"Now is the time

To make real the promises of democracy

Now is the time

We can never be satisfied

As long as the Negro

Is the victim of the unspeakable horrors

Of police brutality"

I confess, I forget, I don't think

How you feel when there are blue lights

I confess, I forget, cos I'm right

I don't think about blue lights

I confess, I forget, am I right

I don't worry about blue lights

I go home I don't get

How they bark, how they bite

Not just blue lights

I go home, I don't get

How they bark, how they bite

Are they blind?

And you run, you can hide

They will get you just cos

It's blind hatred

They should be kind and sacred

In exile in your own land

The land you built with your hands

You're a refugee in your country

A refugee

I'm ashamed of your standards

Yes ashamed to be right

If it means I find open doors

Just cos I'm right

When you're scared and lonely, lonely

Come to my house

I'll say a prayer for you

And cook for you in my house

You can stay here it's safe

Warm in my house

When it's dark outside

Take refuge in my house

When it's cold outside

Take refuge in my arms

Refuge, refuge in my arms

In exile in your own land

The land you built with your hands

You're a refugee in your country

A refugee
