Jay Russell - Feel Safe Lyrics

I've been thinking a lot lately
And honestly it might
Just sound crazy

But I'm picturing a world
Where there's love
Instead of hating

We're our children
Could just grow up
And we're not so
Worried waiting

If they'll ever
Make it home
Cause someone's
Out there contemplating

(We wanna feel safe)

And it's too
Much to comprehend
Like when a mother fears
Of not seeing her children
From school again

Or feeling singled out
Just solely from the
Colors of your skin
We need solutions now
So what does it take
To put this at end

We wanna feel safe
But every time
Im turning on TV
It's like another life is lost
And we're just
Silently believing

That there's nothing
We can do
Because the history's
Repeating
Do I run?
Or do I fight?
Will either have a
Different meaning?
Maybe

I wanna feel safe
I wish it comes true
We need to wield this
World together
You know?
Tighten some screws

We got nothing
To loose
There's something that we all gotta prove
Or do you not just wish the
Same until it happens to you?
Yea

We'll
Break the walls
That divide us
We'll stop all the
Violence

Cause it's tearing
Us all apart
And if I could
Have one wish

I'd stop all the fighting
But I can't wait for
Shooting stars

Look I'm so
Tired of
Reading about a
Tyrant
Then people just spreading
Hatred
Then hatred just spreading
Violence

And really?
I think that
Time is
A waste
If I'm being honest

Are you feeling some type
Of comfort?
There's families
You just divided

We want to feel safe
In our homes, driving or
Walking the streets

Without us ending up as
Lifeless
Covered under a sheet
For a reason so confusing
It's so hard to believe

But
I wonder if we
Ever thought that
The next
One could be me?

We want to feel safe
Out in public
When we speak
Our native language

Can we practice
Our religion
Without the discriminations

Can we have our own
Our own ideas
Not bounded
By limitations

Cause I'm tired
Of these stories
It's time to start turning pages

We want to feel safe
And yea I hope
Comes through
Maybe we all can get
Together

You know?
Signing a truce
We got nothing to lose
There's parts for us
We all gotta do

If you want to make a change then
Its starting with you

We'll
Break the wall
That divides us
We'll stop all the
Violence

Cause it's tearing
Us all apart
And if I could
Have one wish

I'd stop all the fighting
But I can't wait for a
Shooting stars

I wanna
See this

I'd stop all
Fighting

No more violence
End all hatred

If I had one
Wish
I'd stop all
Fighting

Feel safer than this
No more violence

We'll
Break the walls
That divide us
We'll stop all the
Violence

Cause it's tearing
Us all apart
And if I could
Have one wish

I'd break all the silence
But I can't wait for a
Shooting stars

We'll
Break the wall
That divides us
We'll stop all the
Violence

Cause it's tearing
Us all apart
And if I could
Have one wish

I'd stop all the fighting
But I can't wait for a
Shooting stars

I wanna
See this
I'd stop all
Fighting

No more violence
End all hatred

If I had one
Wish
I'd stop all
Fighting

Feel safer than this
No more violence
