Sunday in America

(Intro)
 Yeah… down in the Twin Cities,
 Sunrise comin’ but it don’t feel like freedom… It’s a Sunday in America… (Verse 1) 
Door kickin’, boots stompin’ on the block,
 Trigger fingers, cold hearts, they don’t stop.
 Brothers, sisters, mama holdin’ tight,
 Guess topp-o shadows in the morning light.
 Lawless sayin’ “order,” we sayin’ “be human,”
 Across the avenue another life’s in ruin.
 Makes you wonder what day this really is—
 When the cameras are watchin’ and the fear won’t quit. (Chorus) 
It’s a Sunday in America,
 Kickin’ in doors like a storm in the night,
 It’s a Sunday in America,
 Groove gets heavy when you’re fightin’ for your life. 
Flashbangs flash, protest screams grow loud,
 Unity rises in the crowd—
 It’s a Sunday in America… (Verse 2)
 Whistles blowin’, neighbors in the street,
 Rhythm of resistance in every heartbeat.
 Kids in the window, mama’s tearin’ up,
 Voices raise like a stand-up funky strut.
 Can you feel the bass of the people’s cry?
 Justice on the mic, we ain’t gonna lie.
 From Lake Street up to Cedar, the call is clear —
 No more fear, no more tears… (Bridge)
 Say it once, say it twice,
 We demand our rights,
 From the porch to the pavement,
 This is our fight.
 Face the oppressor with soul and pride,
 Dance ‘cause we’re living, latest fight of our life… (Chorus) 
It’s a Sunday in America,
 Kickin’ in doors like a storm in the night,
 It’s a Sunday in America,
 Groove gets heavy when you’re fightin’ for your life.
 Echoes of freedom, songs in the square,
 Human hearts say, “We’re still right here,” 
It’s a Sunday in America… (Outro)
 Yeah… Minneapolis, St. Paul,
 When the brass meets the boots,
 We keep that soul —
We keep that groove…
 On this Sunday, in America. Every Sunday in America Every day in America
