about

In this song, THE DARKNESS is hatred and prejudice and the light is love and understanding.
Ultimately it’s up to us to shine that light of love and understanding. Only then can we bring this country from the ideal to the real.

lyrics

THE DARKNESS

Some with badges have a sickness in their heads
Stay away from them or you’ll end up dead
And so it goes through the years, more suffering and tears

Please move closer I can’t see you. I’m lost inside the darkness
Where’s the light? Can you save me from their hate?
Save me now.

Sirens blaring his heart’s racing hands perspiring
Draw the gun in case he runs for fear of dying
Another shot so undeserved another black man on the curb

Please move closer I can’t see you. I’m lost inside the darkness
I can’t run. God I’m bleeding. Help I’m dying.
Save me now.

They surround the woman’s home prepared to kill
Danger is their sweet intoxicating thrill
Shot to death in her own home the danger was unknown

Please move closer I can’t see you. I’m lost inside the darkness
Why’d you shoot me? I’ve done nothing. Now I’m dying.
Save me now.

Save, save me from the darkness
Save, save me from the heartless, the ruthless

He was thought to be a killer for some time
But he still was on the force and that’s a crime
Police reports lie but videos don’t. Can’t deny their murders now

Please move closer I can’t see you. I’m lost inside the darkness
I can’t move. I can’t breathe. Lord I’m dying.
Save me now.

Please move closer I can’t see you. I’m lost inside the darkness
I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe
Officer please. Please.
