Children are starving, mothers are trying 
The best they can
Will you be love?
People are dying, institutional violence
The silence is deafening
Will you be love?
“Too long” some might say 
Can’t begin to describe the wait 
For justice long delayed 
Is a justice far too late
Where is the love? 
Will we be love?

Sisters and brothers, time is far spent
And we’re still suffering
Will we be love?
In the arc of the drama emotions run higher 
Than they’ve ever been
Will we be love?
And in this dark before the dawn
Waiting for the light to come on
Still singing “we shall overcome”
We’ll keep singing these love songs
Where is the love? 
Where is the love? 

Let our minds be love
Our hands be love 
Our hearts be love
Be love
