Why do you hate my color?
Why do you hate the faith I'm from?
Why do you hate me brother?
When will the hate all be done?
Why do we wait for nothing?
(Our waiting means nothing now)
Tell me why do we wait? Nothing's done
(It's our fault if nothing's done)
Why do we wait for destruction?
(We break and it shuts us down)
Tell me where did the hate all come from?
(Oh where did it all come from?)
Pre-Why do you refuse to see the unjust inequality?
It keeps us from being free
We're tired and all alone
Burn it Down (Down, Down)
What does it take my brother?
(There isn't another time)
Tell me what does it take to wake you up?
(We're calling to wake you up)
What does it take? We suffer
(We'll just watch each other die)
Tell how do you hate if we choose Love?
(Not too late if we choose Love)
Pre-Why do you refuse to see the unjust inequality?
It keeps us from being free
We're tired and all alone
Bridge
We lift up the dead from the grave
They cry out aloud
We carry their blood in our hearts
Redemption comes now
Bridge
We lift up the dead from the grave
