Charleston
What do you think heaven's like?
I think it's a garden
I think it's your eyes
And I think it's my beating heart
If you don't mind me asking
Who do you think God is?
Do you think he was born to spite
Both the wicked and the righteous?
I think he is good.
Did you hear the church bells ring
Night rang out in Charleston
As blood rained on the pulpit
Widows gave up their offerings
The poor and the prophet
Sang hymns of their sorrow
They're tired of being forgotten
And I'm tired of watching
No I won't look on
The cities are burning down
All I've got is a song
So I will sing it out
Just to help the world
Where is our humanity?

Have we lost our capacity?
To see that every breath we breathe
Is a thread in the tapestry.
That Winds into eternity
Will we stand as a family?
And Our bodies so heavenly
Sisters and brothers
So I wont look on
Cities are burning down
All I've got is a song
So I will sing it out
No I won't stand by
Cities are burning down
All I've got is this life
And so I'm gonna live it loud
Ooh ooh oh oh
No I won't stand by
Oooh Ohh Ohh
Oooh Ohh ohh
No I won't stand by x 3
