How Do We Heal

[Verse]
Alton, Phillando, Trayvon, Tamir
We love you, we miss you, we wish you were here
Shalina, Sandra, Breonna, Corinne
We say your names 'til we get to see you again

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't feel safe in my own home
Can't put no hoodie on when it gets cold
A new bed everyday, no big wow
I don't know how I'm supposed to feel now

[Chorus]
How do we heal from this?
How do we heal?
They keep on breaking us
Like we can't feel
We all been shouting out
Sentiment deal
How do we heal from this?
How do we heal?

[Refrain]
Alton, Phillando, Trayvon, Tamir
We love you, wе miss you, we wish you were hеre (Hey)
Shalina, Sandra, Breonna, Corinne
We say your names 'til we get to see you again

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't feel safe in my own home
Can't put no hoodie on when it gets cold
A new bed everyday, no big wow
I don't know how I'm supposed to feel now

[Chorus]
How do we heal from this?
How do we heal?
They keep on breaking us
Like we can't feel
We all been shouting out
Sentiment deal
How do we heal from this?
How do we heal?

[Bridge]
Say their names
Oh, say their names
Oh, say their names
Oh, say their names
Say their names
Say their names
Say their names
Oh, say their names
Oh, say their names
Oh, say their names
Say their names
Say their names

[Chorus]
How do we heal from this?
How do we heal?
They keep on breaking us
Like we can't feel
We all been shouting out
Sentiment deal
How do we heal from this? (How do we heal?)
How do we heal?

[Outro: Bryce The Third]
How do we heal?
I don't have the answer to this question as I'm still figuring it out myself
Where do we even start?
How could we heal if we're still actively experiencing trauma on a daily basis
Something's gotta shake
That something has to be us
We've gotta continue to speak up and act against racism, discrimination and unjust treatment of any and all human beings
Black Lives Matter
Black Lives Matter
Black Lives Matter
I say it three times 'cause I'm the third but we gon' keep saying it until it's heard
And I ain't talking 'bout the hear you hear with your ears
I'm speaking of the volumes that speak to your soul and resonate with your heart
The longer I live the more I realize there are no isolated incidents
Most of this is systemic
The foundation was laid incorrectly so now it's time for us to correct it
It was never great, you can't resurrect it
And this is work you can't accomplish separate
We must work connected until love is what we're left with
