No Forgotten Son

Tell me that we've come so far Grown so much, we've moved on Tell me that we're better now Don't need no safeguards watching out Write to me another line While our family says goodbye Torn apart by one misjudge Don't tell me 'cause I've heard enough Why no mercy, why no love? Why no grace from up above? Why no grief for what's been done? No forgotten son Tell me that the law allows A citizen to stand his ground Show me how we fight and live A conflict always escalates Write to me some manly words Of how this tragedy occurred Give to me an empty shell Of what this country should have been Why no mercy, why no love? Why no grace from up above? Why no grief for what's been done? No forgotten son Tell me there's another way For us to live, for us to say Got love to give to all the kids Black, brown, or white or yellow skin Let's face our problems one by one Let's do it all, ever gone Get justice now for all our sons We're sorry now for what was done Why no mercy, why no love? Why no grace from up above? Why no grief for what's been done? No forgotten son Why no mercy, why no love? Why no grace from up above? Why no grief for what's been done? No forgotten son
