"BLM"

Red and blue
A terror down your spine
You don't know how this will end
But you've heard
Of horror stories, black and white
Is peace an enemy or friend

And you shouldn't have to second guess
If you're more or less
Or how to dress
But see in time
We could leave it all behind
Progress isn't always common sense
Not always present tense
But we could leave it all behind

Flashing lights
Like a lighthouse on a hill
It could wreck or save your soul
Open eyes
And follow side to side
Surrender your control

And do they see the fear behind them
Does the terror there remind them

And you shouldn't have to second guess
If you're more or less
Or how to dress
But see in time
We could leave it all behind
Progress isn't always common sense
Not always present tense
But we could leave it all behind

The fear it strikes
A wicked chord
And you never know
Quite how it might ring out
Do you hold your doubt
Or hold your ground
When clarity may barely make a sound
