Oath You Swore

You swore an oath with your hand held high To protect the people not cast aside But now you say "Write down their names" Turning neighbors into targets of shame Talking of lists you divide and break Pointing fingers with words laced in hate Impartial hands that's what you swore But now your hate is at our door Can't you see what's slipping away? The trust we gave now led astray Sworn to justice sworn to truth But you're tearing down the roof Rise up now it's time to care We need a better way be fair Reclaim your promise stand up tall Honor the oath you swore to all You called them "locusts" fueling the fire A hate crime from someone we should admire The badge you wear was meant to shield But now it's used to harm and yield Your hate-stained words they scar the law Betraying the trust we once saw You were meant to lead to stand tall But now your actions endanger us all Can't you see what's slipping away? The trust we gave now led astray Sworn to justice sworn to truth But you're tearing down the roof Rise up now it's time to care We need a better way be fair Reclaim your promise stand up tall Honor the oath you swore to all You wear the badge but where's the pride? When did justice fall to the side? This divide you fuel you know it's all wrong We need unity where we all belong The power's in your hands to choose Lead with honor there's too much to lose Can't you see what's slipping away? The trust we gave now led astray Sworn to justice sworn to truth But you're tearing down the roof Rise up now it's time to care We need a better way be fair Reclaim your promise stand up tall Honor the oath you swore to all The oath you took still carries weight It's not too late to change your fate Stand with us we're standing tall To bring justice back for one and all
