lirik lagu the miracle in a sunbeam – abstract

[chorus]
in the virgo cl-ster, in the milky way
third rock from a star, where my people stay
they call us human, we call ourselves by our color
to eyes from above, it seems we murder each other
so futuristic
why is peace, love, and happiness so futuristic?
why is peace, love, and happiness so futuristic?
why is peace, love, and happiness so futuristic?
so futuristic; i hope that we could fix it

[verse 1]
adam and eve, sittin’ in the garden of eden
god said, “do what you wish, ‘cept for that apple—don’t eat it”
“you got all of this here, i swear to me—you don’t eat it”
“if you do, i’ll write a book and make your descendants read it”
“but i created you, wired you, to know you’d always want more”
because, after all, that’s what the concept of heaven for
y’all don’t wanna die, gotta have that alternate ending
it’s something to look to when you know you ain’t been livin’
when you hate what you’re given but never worked to have more
it’s easy to trick yourself into thinkin’ there’s more
but earth could be heaven, and you could be god
it’s true that you could be the artist, paint the life that you want
earth’s a beautiful canvas, a miracle to behold
long as you don’t get caught up in all the green and the gold
you wait for miracles straight outta book of letters and psalms
maybe the fact we’re even here’s the biggest miracle of all
perfectly distanced from the sun to have light but not burn up
a moon to guide the tide and give us light to the sun up
planets on the outer rim to block the cosmic debris
a speck of dust and a sunbeam is really all that we be
think about that when we talk about the concept of peace
our fighting and ignorance keeps us far from the key
over “whose god’s better? who’s really reppin’ the truth?”
burnin’ down houses for who lives over the roof

[verse 2]
in the usa, home of the free and the brave
that’s what we were promised but i don’t see that today
screaming “i can’t breathe!” ’cause we all drownin’ in lies
the garner tragedy, saw that with our own eyes
screaming “film the police!” and still the system is f-cked
the people are over it, everyone’s had enough
and i’ve had enough of artists not speaking up
this a serious problem, it ain’t an issue to duck
f-ck what color i am, speak on it because i’m human
throw the police the power and then we watch ’em abuse it
we saw the shady ways of the cia
grand jury prosecutors treatin’ cop cases the same
when someone dies by another, take it to trial—no questions asked
’cause it seems when you work with each other, you’ll get a p-ss
my heart goes out to every family who’s ever been affected
middle fingers goes to every cop who ever benefited

[outro]
i know racism is alive
i see the fire in people’s eyes
i hear the screams of a mother’s cries
let the power stand down, let the people rise
i know racism is alive
carried by those holding onto fear inside
whether you’re red, yellow, blue, brown, black, or white
let us look upon the world with equal eyes
only then can we equalize
when we start to look through equal eyes
only then will we equalize
until then, we’re all living equal lies
