Black & Blue Lyrics by Lavender Gonzalez

2016

[Chorus]
I, I wanna be brave
I wanna be smart
I wanna be beautiful
And I, I wanna be loved
I wanna be free
I wanna be safe
[Verse 1]
There's a war going on
There's a war in your backyard
There's people everywhere and they are scarred
We're not safe anymore
We're not safe in our own home
We can't be safe if we're alone and that we are
Can't we love when we're unsure?
Can't we love when we are poor?
The 6th commandment comes in play but we ignore
[Chorus]
I, I wanna be brave
I wanna be smart
I wanna be beautiful
And I, I wanna be loved
I wanna be free
I wanna be safe
[Verse 2]
People in black mourning them
People in black wearing thin
Justice for all isn't real if there's no justice for them
People in blue holding us
People in blue holding us up
They're supposed to protect us but they're afraid
Wearing a flag
Wearing their names
Wearing a bomb
Wearing grenades
This war isn't peaceful and it rages on in all of us
[Bridge]
Because we're all scared
Because we're afraid
We can't see the sun not even in the light of day
And it's not okay
No, it's not alright
Can't we find a way to see eye to eye?
[Chorus]
I, I wanna be brave
I wanna be smart
I wanna be beautiful
And I, I wanna be loved
I wanna be free
I wanna be safe
