I can’t pretend to understand how it feels to be judged by the color of my skin,

I can’t pretend to know the path that one is forced to walk,

I can’t pretend I know how it feels to be treated like an animal for daring to breathe,

All I can do is stand by your side,

Allow my voice to join the side of right,

March for justice as I open my ears to hear,

To open my eyes to see,

I stand beside you,

I hold you close as I wipe your tears from the pain,

I can’t pretend to understand but I do care.
