WE FALL DOWN

We fall down
Get knocked down
Get locked down
We get back up

We’re held down
Get pat down
Get shot down
Enough is enough

Name the reason
It’s open season
On me and mine
First driving, now walking
Our only crime

I lay wake nights
Seeking insights
What’s the future for me
For my sons and their sons
The sons yet to be?

We fall down
Get knocked down
Get locked down
We get back up

We’re held down
Get pat down
Get shot down
Enough is enough

Now we must stand up
Sit in, lie down
Whatever it takes
To change minds, open hearts
Until the cycle breaks  

Now we must stand up
Sit in, lie down
Whatever it takes
To change minds, open hearts 
Until the cycle breaks 

Now we must stand up
Sit in, lie down
Whatever it takes
To change minds, open hearts 
Until the cycle breaks    

We fall down
Get knocked down
Get locked down
We get back up
  
We’re held down
Get pat down
Get shot down
Enough is enough

You say you fear me
But clearly
Something is wrong
You tell one lie that multiplies
After you’ve shot your gun

Labeled other
Not brother               
Leads to a flood of tears
Declared guilty before innocent
Just to assuage your fears

We fall down
Get knocked down
Get locked down
We get back up

We’re held down
Get pat down
Get shot down
Enough is enough

We fall down
Get knocked down
Get locked down
We get back up

We’re held down
Get pat down
Get shot down
Enough is enough

   Enough is enough

       Enough is enough!
