You don't have to look too hard
To see the future in that old woman's eyes
Her signs broken
And her head signs closed behind
Disappointments on her face
She has been walking through a reoccurring dream
Racist hatred
This is what it means
Racist hatred
And every time she witnesses
The violence in the streets
She reaches for the cross
Bows her head in tension, please
Let the spell be broken
Break its hold on my mind
Let it pass from my mind
Let the spell be broken
Every heart beats the same
So how much longer would it take
wäre
Neighborhoods are burning down
And when they're gone
There's still a line in the dust
Your side, my side
Ain't things bad enough
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no





Cause everyone's a victim of the violence in the streets
And every mother knows about the sorrow that it breeds
So let the spell be broken
Break its hold on our minds
Let it pass from our lives
Let the spell be broken
Every heart beats the same
So how much longer will it take
Till it's over
Over
Let the spell be broken
Let the spell be broken
Cause everyone's a victim of the violence in the streets
And every mother knows about the sorrow that it breeds
So let the spell be broken
Break its hold on our minds
Let it pass from our lives
Let the spell be broken
Every heart beats the same
So how much longer will it take
Let the spell be broken
Break its hold on our minds
Break its hold on our minds
Let it pass from our lives
Let the spell be broken
Let the spell be broken
Let the spell be broken
Let the spell be broken
Let the spell be broken
Praise

Praise
One, two, one, two, three, four
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Let the spell be broken
Break this hold on my mind
Let it pass from my life, life, life, life
Let the spell, let the spell be broken
Ooh
Let the spell be broken
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Let the spell be broken
Break this hold on my mind
Break this hold on my mind
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And you're on the streets.
