SciFi - Speaking my mind

Sometimes there seems to be no easy way to speak my mind
But truth is that I'm scared to be a part of it and put you down
Cause some of us have lost our minds
And I could choose to close my eyes
But then you still stand
Right in their line of fire
So for you I speak my mind
I can't wear your skin but
I will build a shield around your heart
Each time I see a bullet fired
They say it's nothing
Well I tell them that it's everything
It's not their call
I wish
I wish for us to see a day
When what you face is just the same
As everything, I take for granted
It's gone too far
Massive failure for no reason
I long to say that we're equal
I may not always see, and I may not always know
It's part of my white privilege not to even notice it
So will you tell me when I'm wrong
I need your guidance on my course
My heart goes hand in hand with your soul
And for you, I speak my mind
I can't wear your skin
But I will build a shield around your heart
Each time I see a bullet fired
Apply the same love as in Macklemore's song
We need to right what's gone wrong
I wish
I wish for us to see a day
When what you face is just the same
As everything, I take for granted
It's gone way too far
Massive failure for no reason
I long to say that we're equal
I may not always see
It's part of my white privilege
Not to even notice it
Until I start listening
