We live in a world where people just follow other’s paces
Walking around with Xeroxed awareness plastered on our faces
We stay stuck in our box with no keys to these locks
But the glass house that has been built around us is growing weak
It’s time for a new conscience, empathy, and tolerance to peak
Now is when the walls need to tumble to the ground
Racism, violence, and hate no longer found
We need to stop singin’ and start doin’
Because shattered glass may cut feet
But without it there can be no peace in the street
Let words be our stones and acceptance be our arm
Let loose the rock, break the glass of ignorance that built this house
Rouse the hearts of others and stand hand in hand to watch the hate of this world be
