SINGING THIS SONG LET THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW

[Verse 1]

BLOOD ON OUR HANDS ITS WETTER THAN IT EVER WAS

WE SAY ITS GETTING BETTER YET IT SELDOM DOES

EVERYBODY WANNA FUSS BUT WHAT GETS DISCUSSED

WHEN ITS ALL SAID AND DONE WHAT WILL BE SAID OF US

THIS IS WHO WE ARE NOT WHO WE HAVE TO BE

IN THE LASTING AFTERMATH OF A TRAGEDY

DON'T WANNA TALK NO MORE I HEARD IT ALL BEFORE

I JUST KNOW THAT I DON'T WANT THIS ON MY HEART NO MORE

SPEEDING ON A CRASH COURSE WITH OUR FINAL HOUR

ONLY THING THAT CAN BRING US BACK IS OUR FINEST HOUR

EXCELLENCE FLOW FROM EVERY PRECIOUS SOUL IS THE

ONLY WAY THAT I KNOW TO HARNESS THAT KIND OF POWER

WE CAN SHINE BRIGHTER SING BIGGER LOVE LOUDER

WE CAN DREAM FARTHER HOPE HARDER WORK SMARTER

THIS IS THAT MOMENT SAND FLOWING THROUGH THE HOUR

GLASS IS OUR ONLY OPPONENENT THAT WE HAVE

[Hook]

[Verse 2]

ALL AROUND THE WORLD DIFFERENT SONG SAME MESSAGE

DIGNIGTY IN THAT SPOLIGHT AND LIFE'S PRECIOUS

WHEN WE RAISE VOICES WE'RE JOINING A CHORUS

YOU'RE NOT A SOLO THE HARMONY IS ENORMOUS

ECHO JOHN LENNON WE ECHO NINA SIMONE

WE ECHO MY BROTHER CHUCK D THAT LEGACY LIVES ON

AND WHEN THE STRUGGLE STRESS YOU

LET IT BLESS YOU KEEP YOU STRONG

AND MAY YOUR VOICE LIVE ON FOREVER IN THAT SONG

SINGING THIS SONG LET THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW

SINGING THIS SONG LET THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW

AND SO IF WE WANT TO GET ANYWHERE WE HAVE TO BE SELF LOVING

ENOUGH, TO BE HONEST WITH OURSELVES, TO DO SOME SOUL

SEARCHING. I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT SOUL SEARCHING TO SEE WHAT'S

INSIDE OUR SOUL, WE GOT TO FIND OUT WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO

OUR SOUL. WE'VE GOT TO FIND THAT SHIT. I WANT MY HUMANITY BACK

I WANT TO BE A HUMAN BEING AGAIN. I WANT TO LIVE IN A FAIR WORLD

WE'VE GOT TO DECIDE TO REJOIN THE HUMAN FAMILY AGAIN. WE'RE

NOT TALKING ABOUT JUST THIS CASE, WE NOT TALKING ABOUT JUST

THIS ISSUE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WEATHER OR NOT WE'RE GOING TO

BE HUMAN BEINGS AGAIN. PEACE!
