    Verse 1

    America's 
    on 
    fire 

    There's 
    protests 
    in 
    the street 

    Her conscience 
    has 
    been 
    looted 

    And 
    her 
    soul 
    is 
    under 
    siege 

    Another 
    mother's 
    crying 

    As 
    history 
    repeats 

    can't 
    breathe 


    Verse 2
    God 
    damn 
    those 
    eight 
    long 
    minutes 

    Lying 
    face-down 
    in 
    in 
    cuffs 
    on 

    the 
    ground 

    Bystanders 
    pleaded 
    for mer
    cy 

    As 
    one 
    cop 
    shoved 
    a kid 
    in 
    the crowd 

    When 
    did 
    a judge 
    and 
    jury 

    Become 
    badge 
    and 
    a knee 

    On 
    these 
    streets? 

    Verse 3
    Stay 
    alive, 
    stay 
    alive 

    Shine 
    light, 
    stay 
    alive 

    Use 
    your 
    voice 
    and 
    you 

    remember 
    me

    Verse 4
    I'll 
    never 
    know 
    what 
    it's 
    like 

    To walk 
    a mile 
    in 
    his shoes 

    And 
    I'll 
    never 
    have 
    to 
    have 
    the talk 

    Verse 5
    So 
    it 
    don't 
    happen 
    to 
    you 

    Three 
    little 
    words 
    written 
    'cross 
    the chest 

    Of 
    twelve-year-old 
    who 
    who 

    who 
    hasn't 
    lived 
    life 
    yet 

    "Am 
    next?" 
    "Am 
    next?" 

    Verse 6
    Stay 
    alive, 
    stay 
    alive 

    Shine 
    light, 
    stay 
    alive 

    Use 
    your 
    voice 
    and 
    you 

    remember 
    me

    Interlude 1


    Verse 7
    Is 
    this 
    a moment 
    or movement? 

    Is 
    this 
    the 
    tide 
    or 
    flood? 

    Is 
    our 
    American 
    reckoning 

    Our story 
    written 
    in 
    blood? 

    Or 
    in 
    love? 

    Or 
    in 
    peace? 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 8
    Stay 
    alive, 
    stay 
    alive 

    Shine 
    light, 
    stay 
    alive 

    Use 
    your 
    voice 
    and 
    you 
    remember 
    me 


    Verse 9
    Stay 
    alive, 
    stay 
    alive 

    Shine 
    light, 
    stay 
    alive 

    Use 
    your 
    voice 
    and 
    you 

    remember

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
