[Intro: Joe Biden & Jennifer Hudson]
Good evening
Ella Baker, a giant of the civil rights movement
Left us with this wisdom
Give people light, and they will find the way
Give people light (Hmm)
Those are words for our time
[Verse 1: Joe Biden & Jennifer Hudson, Jennifer Hudson, Joe Biden]
Just a week ago yesterday
It was the third anniversary
Of the events in Charlottesville (Yeah, yeah)
Close your eyes, remember what you saw on the television
Remember seeing those Neo-Nazis
Remember seeing those clansmen, remember
Coming out a field with lighted torches, veins bulging
Spewing the same Anti-semitic bile heard across Europe in the thirties (Hate, hate, hate!)
Remember the violent clash that ensued
Between those spreading hate and those with the courage to stand against it
And remember what the President said when asked?
He said there were quote, "very fine people on both sides"
It was a wake-up call for us as a country (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
And for me a call to action (Uhm-hmm)
[Chorus: Black Eyed Peas & Jennifer Hudson]
People killing, people dying
Children hurting, you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach?
And would you turn the other cheek
Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love?
