Sons and Daughters

Right now there's a redneck boy on the tractor
Sweatin' seven days a week
So you and me can drive five minutes in the AC
To get the groceries

And there's a Compton girl in blue with the badge
Took an oath to protect her fellow man
Every day of her life on the line
So we can all sleep better at night

So quick to judge them, aren't we?
Forgetting everybody

Is somebody's son
Is somebody's daughter
Humans being kind right now
We couldn't be much farther

So before you go and hurt somebody
Remember everyone
Is somebody's son
Is somebody's daughter, yeah

Pretend just a minute when you're on your phone
Safe behind your screen
What you're typin' is to yourself
And the whole world is gonna see

What's in your head, what you're about to say
Might be a second thought to you
But once you throw that stone, you never know
What kind of damage you're 'bout to do

To somebody's son
Somebody's daughter
Humans being kind right now
We couldn't be much farther

So before you go and hurt somebody
Remember everyone
Is somebody's son
Is somebody's daughter

Somebody's son
Somebody's daughter
Humans being kind right now
We couldn't be much farther

So before you go and hurt somebody
Remember everyone
Is somebody's son
Is somebody's daughter

Somebody's son
Somebody's daughter
Yeah
Somebody's daughter
