Bend the Curve
Bend The Curve
(Gabe Dixon)
Lotta people just trying to breathe
Others hesitate and try to decide
I don’t wanna be caught asleep
World’s waking if you open your eyes
Everybody’s got a hand on the wheel
Everybody’s got a hand the sky
The arc of the moral universe
Needs us to point it just right
Bend the curve
Bend it down to the ground
Bend it down toward justice
What we all deserve
Bend the curve
Bend it down to the ground
Bend it down for freedom
let’s get to work
Bend the curve - Bend the curve
This land is our land
Why we lettin’ it burn to ashes?
This sea is our life
Don’t let it go sleepin’ with the fishes
This world is talking to us
Are we gonna have sense to listen?
Might have to start making a fuss
Plant a seed and come to fruition
Bend the curve
take it down to the ground
take it down to the earth
cause she needs us now
Bend the curve
Bend it down for science
you know it’s just common sense
For what’s going round
Bend the curve - Bend the curve
Bend the curve - Bend the curve
There’s people workin’ dawn to dusk, but they can’t trust that it’s enough
To have a decent life
There’s people in an ivory tower, clinging to power, scared of the hour when we unify, and sanctify this one big ball, this one big life
Bend the curve . . .
Bend the curve
take it down like Jesus,
take it down like MLK
let’s get to work
Bend the curve
take it down like Ghandi
take it down like Thich Nhat Hanh
let’s get to work
Bend the curve
take it down like Francis
take it down like Rosa Parks
let’s get to work
Bend the curve
Take it down like Harvey Milk
Take it down like Sojourner Truth
let’s get to work
Bend the curve . . .
Bend the curve
Pull it down like Moses
Pull it down like Abraham
To the earth
Take it down like Galileo
take it down like Katherine Johnson
Bend it down like Jackie Robinson
Bend it down like Colin Kaepernick
Bend it down like
Oscar Schindler, Wangari Maathai, Liu Xiaobo, Nelson Mandela
Susan B Anthony, Mohammed Ali, Chief Joseph, Jimmy Carter
Rachel Carson, John Lewis, The 14th Dalai Lama
Bend the curve
It’s gonna bend toward justice
But it’s gonna take more of us to do this work
