Black Lives Matter

By Bebe Winans

Lyrics

Verse 1.

Tomorrow hope to see his eyes

Looking back at me with that smile

His possibilities and our plans

Don't take away I plead with your hands


Verse 2.

When I close my eyes I pray

Lord cover him with love and your grace

Wont ever know his heart my friend

When you only judge him by his skin


Chorus

Its the right to live i'm after

Want to trade these tears for laughter

In one moment dreams are shattered

My son and daughter matters

Black lives matters


Verse 3.

Let these words I say resound clear

With hands lifted high, and sincere

Urgently dispel your fears

In hope of saving lives we hold dear


Chorus

Its the right to live were after

Want to trade these tears for laughter

In a moment dreams are shattered

Our sons and daughters matters

Black lives matters


Bridge

My children your children

Rich children poor children

Jesus loves the little children

All the children of the world

Your children my children

Poor children rich children

Jesus loves the little children

All the children of the world


Chorus

See it’s the right to live we’re after

Want to trade these tears for laughter

In one moment dreams are scattered

Our sons and daughters matter

Yes black lives matters


Bridge

My children your children

Rich children poor children

Jesus loves the little children

All the children of the world

Your children my children

Poor children rich children

Jesus loves the little children

All the children of the world


Chorus

See it’s the right to live were after

Want to trade these tears for laughter

In one moment dreams are scattered

Our sons and daughters matter

Yes black lives matters


Reprise

Tomorrow hope to see his eyes

Smiling back at me.
