lyrics

Tulsa 1921
As flames blot out the sun
Hundreds passed away
and we just found out today

How many mothers lost a son?
Was it a cell phone or a gun?
The body cams switched off
Now we'll never know...

Are we better now?
Did we learn?

Loose cigarettes and jogging shoes
Lying face down and confused
The lives that could have been
Now they’re unheard and unseen

More injustice all the time
Giving water is a crime
And now it seems all wrong
Must we be this strong?

Restlessness and scars
This is who we are
Flesh and star stuff clashing
With the infinite

Are we better now?
Can we learn?

All this time
Asleep in youth
Paralyzed
by the weight of the truth

Better now
You can be better now
You don't have to change the world

Better now
We can be better now
We can learn

Our better angels sometimes fly
When we resist the urge to close our eyes
For love or hate or peace or war
What is your heart even beating for?
