Another song challenge from the weekly Songwriters Club, the theme was BLOOD.
If It Takes Blood
Cathryn Beeks 5/27/20
change change in your brain
reach down deep and find your pain
stand up do what's right
we are ready for the fight
you got the world on a string
think everybody owes you everything
you're always right we must be wrong
I guess it must be where you're from
what are you looking at?
say what you want do what you do
think what you will but here’s the truth
your kind is finally fading away
there’s more like us around these days
Peaceful are my people
but we will fight strong is our tribe
Peaceful are my people
there will be love if it takes blood
where did you learn what you believe
can you change can’t you see
we’ll keep fighting while we sing
watch evolution do her thing
where are you hiding?
what was will never be again
we’re waking up all my friends
no longer will we look away
change is here these are new days
hate and ignorance are dying
no more will you hear us crying
you will feel the end of days
if you do not change your ways
you can not hide
mother earth is still the queen
stronger than she's ever been
we were meant to live in peace
until that day we will not cease
