Strip me down ‘till it’s just my bones We look different but we share this home
Underneath it all I’m a skeleton; you’re a skeleton I can only hope I can offer you some protection
I’m so sorry This world could not keep you safe I’m sad and I’m angry I’m looking for words but I can’t explain it
It won’t wash the blood from their heads But I will love you as hard as I can Try and make the world understand Something needs to change
That’s the promise I’ll make That’s the promise I’ll make That’s the promise I’ll make That’s the promise I’ll make
I don’t know what it’s like in your shoes I can only imagine what you’re going through
Underneath it all I am human; you are human I don’t understand Their delusion, the confusion I’m so sorry This world could not keep you safe I’m sad and I’m angry I’m looking for words but I can’t explain it
It won’t wash the blood from their heads But I will love you as hard as I can Try and make the world understand Something needs to change
If we all start doing something Maybe this won’t happen again If we all start doing something Loving all strangers, treating them like friends
I’m so sorry This world could not keep you safe I’m scared and I’m angry Looking for words but I can’t explain it
It won’t wash the blood from their heads But I will love you as hard as I can Try and make the world understand Something needs to change
