Inspired by my life, what I see plus listening to the iconic Sam Cooke.
Why must we repeat history?
Why must we embrace slavery?
Don’t know why we can’t forgive.
Don’t know why we must lie.

But I know that we love life.
Through all the BS and strife.
If we embrace love, we can heal this world.

Why can’t we forgive the past?
Why can’t we build a future that lasts?
Don’t know why live this way.
Don’t know why we hit replay.

But I know that life’s a gift.
Though all of the BS we shift.
If we embrace love, we can heal this world.

Now, my kingdoms found within my soul.
Working for free I discovered my real role.
I uncovered my faith within all of you.
I remain steadfast and true.

Why must we repeat history?

Why can’t we forgive the past?

Don’t know why we hit replay.

But I know that life’s a gift.
Though all of the BS we shift.
If we embrace love, we can heal this world.

Now, my kingdoms found within my soul.
Working for free I discovered my real role.
I uncovered my faith within all of you.
I remain steadfast and true.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we’re slaves.
Trapped within conflicting rules, caps, and lines.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we’re slaves.
Trapped within rules, caps, and lines.

But I know that life’s a gift.
Though all of the BS we shift.
If we embrace love, we can heal this world.
