How Many Lyrics

I cannot sleep,
I cannot rest,
I cannot dream,
I cannot stay silent
I feel a violence in my soul
I feel a violence in my soul

I'm tired of human lives turned into hashtags
And prayer hands
I'm tired of watching these murderers get on
Probably we've buried the love, innocent
Brothers and sisters it's time to wake up, wake up, wake up
Brothers and sisters it's time to say somethin', do somethin', make 'em
I wonder how many black lives? How many black lives?
How many heartbeats turned into flat lines? Oh oh
How many black lives? How many black lives?
Does it take to wake the change?
Does it take to wake the change?
Does it take to wake the change?
We can't let them die in vain!
What it takes to wake the change?

I cannot wait & be quiet,
Change does not come for the silence
I'm tired of excuses for all of this
Justice is
I'm tired of all the pain
I'm tired of being afraid
I'm tired of all of them
I'm tired of all of this ??
Tired of all the burning down
and saying ??

Brothers and sisters it's time to wake up, wake up, wake up
Brothers and sisters it's time to say somethin', do somethin', make 'em
How many black lives? How many black lives?
How many heartbeats turned into flat lines? Oh oh
How many black lives? How many black lives?
Does it take to wake the change?
Does it take to wake the change?
Does it take to wake the change?
We can't let them die in vain!
What it takes to wake the change?
