Leave Us Alone, Let Us Live

Let us live, let us live We're not ready to leave We don't want to leave Let us live, let us live. We don't want to die Oh! Lord, we want to live Right now, we're not ready to leave That's the truth. That's no lie. Leave us alone, let us live Black lives matter Minority lives matter We don't want to leave. We have the rights to live free Free of harassment and brutality It is too soon to die, O Lord Let this not be our last word. Leave us alone, let us live We have the blood of Adam and Eve Leave us alone, let us live This ain't our time to leave. P.S. I would love Alicia Keys to add music to these words, Thank you.
