Starts With Me (feat. Aaron Cole)

There’s a million reasons to hesitate
With a history that’s filled with hate
Have we ever been United States, I wonder
So, who can blame us for the doubt
Forgive me if I think out loud
But when justice just won’t come around, you wonder

I was born with two dirty hands
Something my daddy didn’t understand
Something his daddy didn’t understand
So it starts with me

I was raised with distrust in my heart
Mama told me we’re worlds apart
Her mama told her don’t even bother
So it starts with me

‘Cause we can be free
Yeah
Yeah I know that
Let’s try to fix the things that’s been broken
We can be free
Yeah
Yeah I know that
It starts with me

With a heavy road in front of us
And a system that has lost our trust
Can we ever find the strength to rise from ashes
In looking at the heart of it
The healing really can’t begin
Without confession, and forgiveness, and compassion

Can you feel it in your heart tonight?
Love is gonna move the needle
I can feel it in my heart tonight

I need you
And you need me
One more step, we’re almost free
I need you
And you need me
Father, give us eyes to see

This dream could set us free
This dream of you and me
We’re one choice from together
And it starts with me
