Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So if you want
To be free
To live your life
The way you wanna be
Will you give
If we cry?
Will we live
Or will we die? (Uh)

Tainted hearts (heart)
Heal with time
Shoot that love
So we can stop the bleedin'

Solitary brother
Is there still a part of you that wants to live?
Solitary sister
Is there still a part of you that wants to give?
Solitary brother
Is there still a part of you that wants to live?
Solitary sister
Is there still a part of you that wants to give?

If we try
And live your life
The way you wanna (yeah)

Solitary brother

Solitary brother
Is there still a part of you that wants to live?
Solitary sister
Is there still a part of you that wants to give?
Solitary brother

Racism in among future kings can only lead to no good
And besides
All our sons and daughters already know how that feels

Yeah
The love
