Freddie's Song

from Empathy Project by Caroline Ferrante

lyrics

V1: If you were me
If you were like me
If your skin had the same coloring
Do you know what you would do?
Would your truth still be true
When you saw your blood in the street?

V2: If I were you
If I were like you
If my eyes were the same shade of blue
Would I ever wonder why
The mothers scream and cry
Over children dying in the street?

Ch: Am I just a caption and a photograph
An epitaph
Not even human
Turn the page so you don’t have to see
Thank your God you weren’t born like me

V3: I am you
I am like you
Are you afraid of the truth?
Do you ever wonder why
My mother screams and cries
While my blood is running in the street

Ch: Am I just a caption and a photograph
An epitaph
Not even human
Turn the page so you don’t have to see
Thank your God you weren’t born like me

V3: And I am you
I am like you
Are you afraid of the truth?
Do you ever wonder why
My mother screams and cries
While my blood is running in the street

Outro: We got to keep on trying
People keep on dying
You can’t hide the blood in the streets
