Starts With Me · letra

There’s a million reasons to hesitate With a history that’s filled with hate Have we ever been United States, I wonder So, who can blame us for the doubt Forgive me if I think out loud But when justice just won’t come around, you wonder
I was born with two dirty hands Something my daddy didn’t understand Something his daddy didn’t understand So it starts with me
I was raised with distrust in my heart Mama told me we’re worlds apart Her mama told her don’t even bother So it starts with me
‘Cause we can be free Yeah Yeah I know that Let’s try to fix the things that’s been broken We can be free Yeah Yeah I know that It starts with me
With a heavy road in front of us And a system that has lost our trust Can we ever find the strength to rise from ashes In looking at the heart of it The healing really can’t begin Without confession, and forgiveness, and compassion
Can you feel it in your heart tonight? Love is gonna move the needle I can feel it in my heart tonight
I need you And you need me One more step, we’re almost free I need you And you need me Father, give us eyes to see
This dream could set us free This dream of you and me We’re one choice from together And it starts with me
