Breathe - India.Arie

Sometimes you just can’t believe the things your eyes see

So much injustice in this life

If it’s happenin' right on your TV screen

So you drop to your knees and you’re prayin'

'Cause you can hear him sayin' he can’t breathe

And it’s all so overwhelming

Because you know there’s nothing you can do to help him

Continue to breathe

Continue to breathe

In times like these

That’s what your heart is for

Continue to breathe

Continue to breathe

In honor of your brother

That’s what your heart is for

There’s always someone tryin' to take someone’s power away

The history of the world is violent, will it ever change?

Now we’re livin' in a time where you just can’t hide

There’s a camera in every hand

It’s not elusive, even when they treat you like you’re useless

We know what the truth is

That’s what your heart is for

Continue to breathe

Continue to breathe

In honor of your brother

That’s what your heart is for

Fight for your life

Fight for your life

In the face of a society

That doesn’t value your life

For the men in your life

For the boys in your life

For your brothers, for your fathers

For the ones that came before us

For the future, for the future

For the future, for the future

That’s what your heart is for

In honor of your brother

That’s what your heart is for

Continue to breathe

Continue to breathe

In times like these

Nothing matters more

Continue to breathe

Continue to breathe

In honor of your brother

That’s what your heart is for
