Look around
Open eyes look back
Back back back to slavery time
Black bodies bent
Stolen bodies working stolen land
Brown First Nation bodies strewn
Stolen lives losing Stolen futures
Look around
Open eyes look forward
Forward forward forward to Reagan Trump times
Black bodies lying askew
Stolen belongings sleeping without on stolen ground
Brown bodies kidnapped and detained
Stolen futures killing stolen dreams
Look around
Open eyes see resistance
Resist resist resist to a new time
Black bodies reclaim their homes
Brown bodies reclaim their dreams
Black and brown and white unite
