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
