There are dogs in the yard

Hallin at the moon

There are sinners like me

Our judgments comin soon

And I stand out the bottom

Of this dark and lonely well

Sayin please give me answer

So I might escape hell

I watch from my window

As they gunned down on our man

Try to say its not my problem

Couldnt happen to my friends

But the truth is that they're

My brothers and they're my country man

And if we lose our better angels

We wont get them back again

Come on and raise your voice above the raging seas

We cant hold our breath forever

When our brothers cannot breathe

Come on and raise your voice above the raging seas

We cant hold our breath forever

When our brothers cannot breathe

Ooh ooh ooh

Our brothers cannot breathe

Ooh ooh ooh

Our brothers cannot breathe

All good people wont you come around

Wont you come around

Wont you come around

All good people wont you come around

Wont you come around and defend your brothers

All good people wont you come around

Wont you come around

Wont you come around

All good people wont you come around

Wont you come around

Hold up each other
