(Rap)
Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying.
Brother, brother, brother, there's far too many of you dying.
You know we've got to find a way
to bring some lovin' here today, yeah!
Father, father we don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer, for only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way to bring some lovin' here today.
Picket lines (sister) and picket signs (sister)
Don't punish me (sister) with brutality (sister)
Come on, talk to me (sister), so you can see (sister)
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
(2nd rap)
Mother, mother, mother everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh but, who are they to judge us simply because our hair is long?
Oh you know we've got to find a way bring some understanding here today.
Picket lines (brother) and picket signs (brother)
Don't punish me (brother) with brutality (brother)
Talk to me (brother), so you can see (brother)
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What is going on
(3rd rap)
