400 years later and we’re still running
Running from oppression
Running from possession
Running for our life
Running from strife
Running from confusion
Running from disillusion
Running from the shadows in the dark
Running from being thrown to the ground
Running from being tossed around
Running to never be found
Running because we have no common ground
Running because of the color of our skin
Running because we don’t fit in
Running because we fear the end
Running because we feel we can’t win
But we refuse to give in
Or pretend there’s nothing wrong
400 years is a long time
To be on the run and hunted for fun
So let’s stop running
And let’s all unite for what’s right
Walk towards the light
Not the dark shadows of the night
