Merry Christmas Mr. Brown
Put the angel on your tree
Won't you please accept this gift
Of Michael's memory from me?
Merry Christmas Mrs. Garner
May your family always cherish
Every holiday smile left
That you ever shared with Eric
Dear Geneva, how I wish you
A holiday full of love and joy and cheer
Remembering the sweet, sweet times
When Sandra was with us here
New Year's Eve, Mr. Martin
When you look up at the sky
See the fireworks that sparkle bright
Like the light in Trayvon's eye
To the family and the friends
Who remember Freddie Gray
I hope you know you're not alone
When you're kneeling down to pray
Merry Christmas Tatiana
You remind me, you remind me of my daughter
And no child, I said no child should ever
Have to spend Christmas without their father
Sitting on a train in Paris
Where the streets are cold and bare
And I wonder if it's gonna ever
Feel like Christmas again out here
