Let the Damn Thing Break

There is a time
A time for holding hands.
A time to look inside our hearts and see just where we land.
There's a time for truth, wherever it may lead.
A time for me to stand for you and you to stand for me.

There’s a time when we're reaching in the dark
When we decide to let it fall apart.
When hatred is a canvas
And prejudice, an art.
If you're not good with change just get out of the way.
Cause when a dams gonna break You just let the damn thing break.

All my life I drive the same old roads
Out here running like I'm blind trying to get me what is mine
Never realizing the dreams my silence stole
Asleep, while this great machine
Lives off the backs of the poor
All because we wanted more. Give me more, more, more.

There's a time we can let it burn away
There's a time and that time has come today.
If you're not good with change just get out of the way.
Cause if a dams gonna break, You let the damn thing break.

If the systems that we use are the source of the abuse
Go ahead and scrap the plan Start again on even land
I won't willfully neglect flags and stones that we erect just to show the oppressed they’re the ones that we reject.
If we're changing hearts and minds I better start with mine
Let it spread out like a vine...
If a dams gonna break
If a dams gonna break Let the damn thing break
