Just Be

I've made you a scapegoat You've made me a ruse We've built up a straw man That we can abuse You think I'm grazing In pastures of green Your matchstick is blazing You know what I mean Can we agree to just be? The streets are on fire And there's lives on the line And no one is listening And nobody's fine There's tearing down statues There's tearing down dreams Systemic oppression So tight you can't breathe (God help us just breath) Can we agree to just be? All that I want is love, love, love If that's all you can give, then it's enough- then it's enough They're marching in cities They're marching in streets No coming together When you've seen what we've seen We'd overcome And there'd be unity If I could see you And you could see me Can we agree to just be? All that I want is love, love, love To rain down on the earth from the heavens above All that I need is love, love, love If that's all you can give, then it's enough- then it's enough
