Group A

We are at war

We are at war with ourselves and many different people,

Segregation should be illegal.

If we don’t take a stand and do what’s right we won’t be able to sleep at night.

I’m proud of the people that marched across the bridge to fight,

For our voting rights and for freedom.

Whoever told you that you couldn’t do something don’t believe them.

We are at war with ourselves, is it because we don’t trust nobody else not even ourselves.

How did we get here when the only thing we wanted was freedom?

Our ancestors have been through a lot so why can’t we just forget about violence and stop.

We should all take a stand and show that there is no such thing as a perfect woman or man.

But the question is not when but why?

But the fact still remains the same, we are at war.
