Bon Jovi baru saja merilis single terbaru yaitu ‘American Reckoning’. Lagu ini merupakan suara dan rasa protesnya atas tragedi George Flody yang terjadi di Amerika.
America’s on fire
There’s protests in the street
Her conscience has been looted
And her soul is under?siege
Another?mother’s crying, as?history repeats
I can’t breathe
God damn those?8 long minutes
Lying face down in cuffs on the ground
Bystanders?pleaded?for?mercy
As one, cop?shoved a kid?in the crowd
When did a judge and a jury
Become a badge and a knee
On these streets?
Stay alive, stay alive
Shine a light, stay alive
Use your voice and you remember me
American reckoning
I’ll never know what it’s like
To walk a mile in his shoes
And I’ll never have to have the talk
So it don’t happen to you
Three little words written ‘cross the chest
Of a twelve year old who hasn’t lived life yet
“ Am I next? Am I next?”
Stay alive, stay alive
Shine a light, stay alive
Use your voice and you remember me
American reckoning
Is this a moment or movement?
Is this the tide or a flood?
Is our American reckoning?
Our story written in blood
Or in love
Or in peace
Stay alive, stay alive
Shine a light, stay alive
Use your voice and you remember me
Stay alive, stay alive
Shine a light, stay alive
Use your voice and you remember me
American reckoning
In our American reckoning
