God Forbid - TRP.P, BENITA, Tamara Madison

God forbid, you don’t fit, into what they want you to

God forbid you give in and do what they expect from you

God forbid that little kid grow up to find their worth

And God forbid because of skin they’re taken from this earth

(Benita Singh)

Oh, God forbid we recognize the differences that make us same

God forbid this crazy world and all its evil drive us sane

God forbid we change the world with words instead of war

And God forbid we realize it’s not worth fighting for

(Leila Dey)

Oh, God forbid my knowledge be abandoned in such time of need

When selfishness and ignorance are prevalent because of greed

How can you keep silent when the world is in such pain?

What does it cost? How much more loss before we start to gain?

(Tamara Madison)

Oh, God forbid my name be hailed for deeds that keep me up at night

It isn’t always easy but it’s worth it when you do what’s right

Oh, if we come together as one there’s nothing we can’t do

If we seek understanding from each others' point of view

(Malaika)

Don’t just stand and say, that there’s no way, before you even try

(Tamara)

While your hero may be dead and gone, a hero’s deep inside

(ALL)

Now’s the time, make up your mind and see your change come through

(Malaika)

I know that it won’t end with me but let it start with you

Oh now’s the time, make up your mind

(Tamara)

Is this the world you wanna live in? Is this the world you wanna leave your

children?

(Phoenix)

It starts with you (you)

(Tamara)

Is this the world, you wanna live in?

Is this the world we gon' leave our children?

Would you tell me, would you tell me, would you tell me, would you tell me

please?

(Truss)

Would you tell me please I need to know
