I Am Loved
I Am Loved
Inspired by theomusicologist, Yara Allen, and her work with Repairers Of The Breach and The Poor Peoples’ Campaign, especially her anthem "Somebody's Hurting My Brother And It's Gone On Far Too Long", we have started gathering singalong chants for outdoor protests.

VERSE 1
I need a mother to fight for me
I need a father for cry for me
What do you see
When you’re looking at me?
CHORUS 1
I am a son, I am a daughter
I am a mother, I am a father
I am a sister, I am a brother
I am a partner, I am a lover
I am loved, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I am loved, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
VERSE 2
I need a brother to carry me
Don’t need no bullet to bury me
What do you see
When you’re looking at me?
VERSE 3
I had a gun pulled on me
When I was passing by your street
What did they see
When they looked at me?
CHORUS 2
Was I a son, was I a daughter?
Was I a mother, was I a father?
Was I a sister, was I a brother?
Was I a partner, was I a lover?
Was I loved?
