Take the Knee

by Nick Gisburne



We take the knee to tell you we are strong
We take the knee to tell you something’s wrong
Don’t shelter from the politics of race
We kneel to put the struggle in your face
This isn’t something pointed back at you
It should not be a controversial view
If you believe you’re under an attack
Imagine, for second, being black
If every person started to believe
Imagine how much more we could achieve
Equality is not some kind of threat
We kneel because we haven’t found it yet
    And yes, you’ll always matter, come what may
    So stand with us, and kneel with us, today
