lyrics
i was ducking when the lightning struck
i was lucky but i pressed my luck
is it wrong that i should be confused
lightning falling and the sky is blue
we were watching as a man caught flame
we were praying and we spoke his name
who will fall when fire comes again
are we powerless to do a thing
their names in our memories
our singing, their elegies
there were those who didn't feel this rage
they just didn't think it all that strange
they don't notice all the fire and blood
our black bodies weren't proof enough
like we never knew of innocence
like it's written in the firmament
if it's lightning that commits these crimes
then, by god, we will indict the sky
u wait and see
it is tantamount to prophecy
that we will all be free
u wait and see
