“This song was written in memory of George Floyd and all those whose lives have been affected by abusive, excessive and inhumane force.”   

“This song was written by Chris and Mark Malone in memory of George Floyd and all those whose lives have been affected by abusive, excessive and inhumane force. The lyric, wrapped around a thought Malcolm X expressed many years ago, is about the current and historic storm engulfing our nation and world. The melody and chord structure are in the spirit and structure of African-American work and protest songs.  This song is written as a call, in the enduring hope of a response,” say Chris and Mark. We must embrace each other and realize that our differences contribute to our beauty and much like a puzzle, fit together perfectly to create a masterpiece.
