Alone in the Morning

lyrics

Unarmed lady
Bold as Nubian queens before us
Summer dress blowing
Her brown skin radiates straight through the shadows
The peace of Jesus
Dignity of Selma fathers
Like a ballerina, she stands alone in the morning

Armored penguins
Lumbering to the front lines
Ties and tasers, face shields and Kevlar to last a lifetime
The doubt of soldiers
Disquiet of the weary
And while they teeter, she stands alone in the morning

There's another way home
There's another way to be bold - she knows
There's another way home
There's another way to be whole

Cracks in pavement
Winding down along the boulevard
Twofold nation, black and blue or blue and red or white and black don't know where it ends
Blame it on the fathers, the fault is always another's
Though we are millions, we stand alone in the morning

There's another way home
There's another way to be bold - she knows
There's another way home
There's another way to be whole

Keep us calm, hanging on, through the fog of war
Give us peace in the heat of the coming storm

All the lines erased just return in the morning
So we look for grace to the queen of the morning
So we look for grace to the queen of the morning
