Free

Lyrics

Looking out into the night I see
Fearful eyes looking back at me
I’m on my own but I’m not alone
I’m headed home stay on the phone with me

(why is he following you?)

I’m running hard in the dark
My beating heart, it wants to break free
This growing fear is getting near
And it won’t let go of me

But I stand my ground
I stand my ground
uh uh ohh

They gathered round when they heard that sound
But on the ground, they could not see me
In their head no matter what was said
They could not see the ground beneath my feet

And I stand my ground
Yeah I stand my ground
I am Trayvon Martin

I stand my ground
I stand my ground
I am Trayvon Martin

Their crying out loud
from somewhere deep within
This pain is real
Pariahs in our skin

We tell our boys
walk without sound
And we tell ourselves
we’re not giving up ground

The troubles of today
Keep waling with tomorrow
I will find a way
Through all the pain and sorrow

Hoodies are here to stay
Don't tell me to put it down
Only one thing I have to say
I stand my ground

I stand my ground
I stand my ground
I stand my ground
