Something’s Gotta Give

[Intro]
I can't breathe, I can't breathe

[Verse 1]
Feet hurt from all of this marching (I can't breathe)
My voice tired from all of the shouting and arguing
We need answers to all our questions (I can't breathe)
But can anybody tell me why, this system ain't for me?
Fist bruised from all of the fighting (I can't breathe)
My heart aches from all of the silence, while we're dying
You see the nation's divided (I can't breathe)
Oh if we can't have no justice, why would you ask for peace?

[Chorus]
Something's gotta give
They tried to say they're threatened
When I just wanna live
Oh, oh, oh
Something's gotta give (Something's gotta give)
I know the Lord is watching this
But it's getting hard to forgive

[Verse 2]
And every morning when I wake up (Wake up)
Wish I could change up everything
Like all the headlines in the paper (Paper)
They never tell you everything
I made a wish on a star
To take us out of the dark
Don't know how much, we can take, before it's over

[Chorus]
Something's gotta give
They tried to say they're threatened
When I just wanna live
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Something's gotta give
I know the Lord is watching this (He's watching this)
Give me a heart to forgive (Give me a heart to forgive)
Give me a heart to forgive (Give me a heart to forgive)
Give me a heart (Give me a heart to forgive)

[Outro]
Yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh
