Charleston

What do you think heaven's like? I think it's a garden I think it's your eyes And I think it's my beating heart If you don't mind me asking Who do you think God is? Do you think He was born to spite Both the wicked and the righteous? I think He's good Did you hear the church bells ring? Night rang out in Charleston As blood rained on the pulpit Widows gave up their offerings The poor and the prophet Sang hymns of their sorrow They're tired of being forgotten And I'm tired of watching No, I won't look on The cities are burning down All I've got is a song So I will sing it out Just to help the world Where is our humanity? Have we lost our capacity To see that every breath we breathe Is a thread in the tapestry That winds into eternity? Will we stand as a family And our bodies so heavenly? Sisters and brothers So, I won't look on Cities are burning down All I've got is a song So I will sing it out No, I won't stand by Cities are burning down All I've got is this life And so I'm gonna live it loud Ooh ooh oh oh (no, I won't stand by) Oooh ohh ohh Oooh ohh ohh (no, I won't stand by) Oooh ohh ohh Oooh ohh ohh (no, I won't stand by) Oooh ohh ohh Oooh ohh ohh (no, I won't stand by) Oooh ohh ohh
