[00:13.39]When footsteps from that Sunday march faded out into the dark
[00:19.49]The melody blows in to ease the pain
[00:25.23]Two thousand years and we're still here fighting over the same old fear
[00:31.50]The muddy steps of hate can't stand this rain
[00:37.96]I'll stand up on this stage as if it was my altar
[00:44.19]I'll face down all the rage and no, I will not falter
[00:49.47]Say I'm good enough to play but not good enough to stay
[00:55.39]In your heart
[01:08.54]The mat on the floor says welcome, the sign on the door says no
[01:14.20]Says 'No coloreds allowed unless you're playing in the show'
[01:20.51]Well I've never seen a color except the ones up in the sky
[01:26.69]When I see this kind of hatred I die a little inside
[01:33.11]I'll stand up on this stage as if it was altar
[01:38.92]I'll face down all this rage and no, I will not falter
[01:44.80]Say I'm good enough to play but not good enough to stay
[01:51.33]And when you finish your song boy you've got to be on your way
[01:56.85]But if I'm good enough to play then I'm good enough to stay
[02:02.90]In your heart
[02:16.62]This one's for the Godfather, Duke, Ella, and the Count
[02:22.12]And for all those who fought their way here no matter the amount
[02:28.35]For all of God's children walking through dumpsters in the back
[02:34.52]Had to finish their show and leave just because their skin was black
[02:40.76]They stood up on the stage as if it was their altar
[02:47.00]They faced down all the rage and no, they did not falter
[02:52.69]They were good enough to play but not good enough to stay
[02:59.05]And when they finished their songs boy they had to be on their way
[03:05.08]They were good enough to play and somehow they've always stayed
[03:11.29]In our hearts
[03:23.45]And if I'm good enough to play then we've got to find the space
[03:29.24]In our hearts
