lyrics

Verse
This institution is dying
You can feel it in the streets
Every day in every way it's not ok
We can't sit back and watch our cities burn

Chorus
Just look at all the people dying
It's on the news every day (dry your eyes)
Innocent men and mothers crying
There's gotta be a better way

Let's keep this hope alive
Let's keep it alive
Let's keep this hope alive
Let's keep it alive

Verse
I know that apathy is easy
I'm guilty of it myself
This is the time, this is a sign, nothing is fine
Think of yourself in their shoes

Chorus
Just look at all the people lying
It's on the news today
Innocent men and mothers crying
There's got to be another way

Let's keep this hope alive
Let's keep it alive
Let's keep this hope alive
Let's keep it alive

Bridge
We're afraid to go outside
It's not how it should be
This is America
The Land of the Free
It's what it's supposed to be
Let's make it happen now

Let's make it happen now
How they wanted it to be
Let's make it happen now
How they wanted it to be
