How much more can we Endure

My brother lies bleeding on a crowded street

My brother dying in the summer heat

My father cursing the holy name

My father dying just the same

How much more can we endure

How much more can we endure

How much more, tell me now, can we endure

Baby cries. Takes shelter in his mother’s arms

Baby cries as the battle rages on

Hatred in the eyes. Eyes can only see

The color of my skin. They’ll never see me

How much more can we endure

How much more can we endure

How much more, tell me now, can we endure

You pray to God you pray so loud

A change is gonna come anytime now

Seems the doors wide open, closes somehow

Where’s it all end, where’s it all end, where’s it all end

Young woman on her knees, tears running down her face

Young woman pleads, it’s more than I can take

How much more can we endure

How much more can we endure

How much more, tell me now, can we endure
