blood and lace

Let the statues fall
We don’t need them where we’re going
& let’s stop canonizing men who never deserved to be gods
We could have it all
If we all could just stop fighting
About the value of a life
Based on the lines that they have drawn

Let’s stop living in the past
While our future is waiting
We’ll only make it out together
There’s enough to go around
So let the statues fall
We can rebuild from the rubble
Forget whatever they told you
We’re writing the story now

& we will not lie down
To pave a path for ignorance
& we will not sit silent
While our lives are on the line
We will not turn away
We will not be scared
We have nothing to fear
But nothing changing at all

So let the statues fall
Let the pedestals crumble
Let the lines be undrawn
& the lies be undone

Let us all come together
& let our voices carry
All for one & one for all
Let the statues fall
