Today the lights go out
No question and no doubt
The hidden truth emerges
And rises to the surface
What are you going to do
Then look into
The darkness in you
And pull out all the weeds
Taken root and sewn their seed
Inevitably everyone can see
Privilege means no equality
You know it didn’t happen naturally
So what are you to do but give it up for free
Give it up for free
Frozen still
Scared to give it up
One more sip
From the silver cup
One more breath
Now the time is up
We find our freedom
Underneath it all
Today the silence sounds
History turns back around
You know it wasn’t earned
So we unpick and we unlearn
What it’s was grown to be
Sewn by the bitter seed
Yeh at bore the strangest fruit
You know what you have to do
Inevitably everyone can see
Privilege means no equality
You know it didn’t happen naturally
So what are you to do but give it up for free
Give it up for free
Frozen still
Scared to give it up
One more sip
From the silver cup
One more breath
Now the time is up
We find our freedom
Underneath it all
