This is my protest. Because brown. Because black. Because innocent. Because unarmed. Because child. Because father. Because human.

CHASING

My first kiss, was stolen from me 
Taken by the sea and his lovers 
The waves came in 
Took me for a spin 
Then it was all over 

Don't go chasing your first love 
Cause nothing will come of it 
Don't go chasing your first love 
Cause nothing will come of it 

If I could fly, I would 
I'd go to the moon and stay there 
Cause no one can touch me there, 
No one can touch me there 

Don't go chasing your first love 
Cause nothing will come of it 
Don't go chasing your first love 
Cause nothing will come of it 

Baby you, 
Oh you are more than 
He'll ever be. 
Baby you, 
Oh you are more than 
The sea, the sea, the sea 

Suicide is always on my mind 
Won't lose myself this time, 
I'll find me in the water 

Find me in the water 
Find me in the water 
Find me in the water 
Find me in the water 
Find me in the water 
Find me in the water 
Find me in the water
