What if it were my child?
What must his parents be thinking?
This kind of justice is just not expected in the land of the free.
He was told not to confront the guy.
He ignored the police.
What could have happened in 6 minutes to make him kill the boy?
This kind of justice is just not expected in the land of the free.
I'd be scared too if some big white dude was following me and I was a black kid.
He didn't know who He was.
I'd be ready to defend myself too.
Poor boy; went to the store for candy and came back dead.
This kind of justice is just not expected in the land of the free.
Why? Was it how he looked?
When did looks become a crime?
Was it because he was scared and maybe tried to defend himself?
This kind of justice is just not expected in the land of the free.
Is self-defense a crime? Maybe not for the living just for the defenseless.
I thought he'd be held accountable. I thought justice would be done.
And so when my heart is heavy and I want to weep
What shall I do?
Remember me my child.
I, the most innocent, who died for your sins and theirs.
I was innocent and you all were guilty.
I took your guilt and gave you freely, as a gift, my innocence.
This kind of justice was just not expected in the land I set free.
And when you remember the boy, know He is with me.
Because my kind of justice brings true liberty.
All sins are forgiven, my grace is made known.
Go tell everybody that I took their wrong.
And if they receive me they'll be made clean
When hell comes to take them, I'll intervene.
This kind of justice can now be expected in the land I set free.
