Here Comes the Hard Part
Young folks getting shot in the back
Dangerous being brown and black
You may have thought it was history
But we're not over slavery
The prisons are the new lynching tree
Here comes the hard part, taking in the hard part
Learning about the hard part, the hard part of change
Then comes the hard part, dangerous the hard part
Lifetime of the hard part
Will we keep showing up?
We live together still we live apart
This great divide is ripping my heart
There's no such thing as color blind
When race has all our lives defined
This takes more work than simply believing
I'm staying with this, I'm not leaving
Are we afraid to do the hard part
Do we keep failing at the hard part
We are shaking in the hard part
But we keep showing up
Falling fearing failing shaming terrifying hard part
of change
Three women murdered every day
And that's just in the USA
Killed by lovers by so-called friends

My body breaks, my spirit bends
We hold our sons and daughters with arms unfurled
And teach them to be strong and loving in a violent world
Here comes the hard part
Trusting is the hard part
Will we make it through the hard part
The hard part of change
The hard part comes at some with such a vengeance every day
For others it's a choice to care but they care anyway
Whether born with privilege or poverty in your hand
There comes a time in every life where we're choosing where we stand
And love comes from the deepest impulse we have ever known
People do the impossible and history has shown
The impossible becomes the probable
Change crashes through the door
And lives are changed forever, forever more
Because of the hard part
Standing through the hard part
A lifetime of the hard part
But we keep showing up
Moving through the hard part
Calling on the hard part
I love you through the hard part
Because you, because you, because you keep showing up
