Wish I Could Help - 7 Seconds

Again we stand so silent

Act like things are oh so great

In love with thinking that

We’ve ended racial motivated hate

But the truth is clear, just look around

It’s worse than it was before

When another peace march triggers thought

A perfect reason we must raise war

Erase this, begin to open up your narrow mind

I wish I could help, dig it

All the years you’ve been brainwashed

I wish I could help

See America so proud and bold

Yet comin' out behind her voice

Conditioning so harsh and strong

That it smothers out what’s left of choice

Can ya think back to the sixties?

Not much has changed it’s stayed the same

Seems like we blow our chances

To learn from life each time

Erase this, begin to open up your narrow mind

I wish I could help, dig it

All the years you’ve been brainwashed

I wish I could help

You see it every day

From prison, schools to the assembly line

Another fans the flame

Discrimination, segregation

Comes from every side

Which side of the fence do you stand on?

Quick, choose your side

When the wind blows, where do you fall?

Tell us if you can
