Is It Enough

Hope Tala

I know I care about peace
Know I care about black power
Fewer police, more poetry and more flowersShout when I speak, I couldn′t get any louder
'Cause I know that I′m free, no use being a coward
I care about love and I think it's the reason
That we'll rise above all the violence and cheatin′
Yeah, it′s in our blood, all of this love
But is it enough?

To know what we're fightin′ for
To know what we're fightin′ for
When we can't break down the door, door, door
Least we know what we′re fightin' for, mmm

I think we should all be a little more tender
Should love who we want to, regardless of gender
And be who we are, shouldn't have to pretend
Women should rise up and never surrender
Hope that one day we′ll protect one another
Put down our blades and start lovin′ each other
Is there a way we can stop runnin' for cover?
Is it enough?

To know what we′re fightin' for
To know what we′re fightin' for
When we can′t break down the door, door, door
Least we know what we're fightin' for, mmm

′Cause every time that I turn on the news
A different rhythm, a similar tune
Got me thinkin′, what is there to do?
'Cause I know courage isn′t bullet proof
But every time I look up at the moon
I know the power is ours to use
We might stumble but we'll never lose

I care about love and I think it′s the reason
We'll rise above the violence and cheatin′
It's in our blood, all of this love
But is it enough?
