Child, come a running
Child, come a running

You woke up to the gun shots on the news
Run for your shoes, lace up, wake up, listen to the blues
Sidewalk chalk promises rainbows ahead
But the storm's pouring down, colours blur-out instead
You used to watch cartoons
But all the riots in the news call you to grow up too soon

Run, run, run the race
Run, run, take your place
Run, run, keep the pace
Run, run, run the race
Run, run, run the race
Run, run, take your place
Run, run, keep the pace
Run, run, run the race

Serve and protect, go their knee on the neck
Sometimes, this weight, so hard to breathe. No respect 
From the ones we're supposed to look to for help
Everyone's pointing fingers we should look to ourselves
Sin deep within, revealed at every whim 
Each of us victims and villians of every colour of skin

Run, run, run the race
Run, run, take your place
Run, run, keep the pace
Run, run, run the race
Run, run, run the race
Run, run, take your place
Run, run, keep the pace
Run, run, run the race

They want you pick up their white flag and give up
But it's time to live up to that hashtag, cuz we're sick of  
Them being treated sub-human, no few men 
Have been duped and bruised from the beatings 
For walking around with a hood and
Assumed to be suspicious. But their just kids
Who're living with this stigma like a sickness 
Man this is vicious

So pick up your dignity, pick up your sign
East to West are rising up and swelling like the tide
We're singing for the black lives, no more white lies
Let's turn back time, oh, oh
When the whole dream began and amens were sung
What if the victory came to our own generation
What if we could tell of this to the generations to come
Run run run run till we reach that table as one
  
Run, run, run the race
Run, run, take your place
Run, run, keep the pace
Run, run, run the race
Run, run, run the race
Run, run, take your place
Run, run, keep the pace
Run, run, run the race

Run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run
