The New Frontier (Say Their Names)

Well, they rallied up in PrinceTown
Another cop’s excessive force
When the protest turned to riots burned
For the death of George Floyd
Now the, the people won’t be silent
And the, the city won’t be calm
Another young, black male
Who’s dead, or jailed
The endangered list goes on

Oh, when will there be justice
When will there be peace
When will we see love as you and me
An’ when will there be kindness
On the new frontier
That’s the day when love will conquer, fear
On the new frontier

An’ what happened in Kentucky
Ending Breonna Taylor’s life
When the cops barged in
Guns a-firin’
In the middle of the night
So, the people won’t be silent
No, the city won’t be calm
It’s a wake-up call, for one and all
In the dark before the dawn

Oh, when will there be justice
When will there be peace
When will we see love as you and me
An’ when will there be kindness
On the new frontier
That’s the day when love will conquer
Fear

So, don’t give up hope, and don’t dare surrender
Because you should know
Love is tough, but tender

Oh, when will there be justice, Say their names
When will there be peace, David McAtee
When will we see love as you and me, Tamir Rice
An’ when will there be kindness, Philando Castile
On the new frontier, Say their names
That’s the day when love will conquer fear, Freddie Gray
An’ when will there be kindness, Eric Garner
On the new frontier, Michael Brown
That’s the day when love will conquer, Say their names
On the new frontier
Say their names
