I am defiantly convinced that we are good. That love drives us, that we can change, that we can do great things that we didn’t know we could do. That it’s ok to be clumsy, get discouraged, make mistakes, while remembering that it’s worth it, that hope can point us towards a better world.

From the refugee trying simply to have their basic needs of safety met, to the grieving mother and father of another black youth needlessly killed, to the person working late hours at a thankless job to get food on the table, to the artist wanting be taken seriously, to the kid just trying to figure out how to grow up in a complex world… you are seen, you matter, you are the reckoning.

#WeAreTheReckoning

We Are The Reckoning
words and music by Peter Katz and Justin Glasco

We are the meant to be, the sum of all that we’ve tried
A tattered history but one with nothing to hide
And our reality, stubbornly, will not be denied

We are the enemies of the empty passing of time
And all the energy that stays locked up inside
We are the reckoning, reminding what it means to be alive

Tell me what you seek out
We’ll fumble in the dark and find it
And clumsily now
We’ll get to where we get
And through our broken steps, we’ll make it

We are the broken ones, we’ll take the stones that they throw
And build a monument, so everybody will know
We cannot be undone, we will become, the lights along the road

Tell me what you seek out
We’ll fumble in the dark and find it
And clumsily now
We’ll get to where we get
And through our broken steps, we’ll make it

We will make it

We are the reckoning reminding what it means to be alive
We are the meant to be, the sum of all that we have ever tried
We are the reckoning reminding what it means to be alive

Tell me what you seek out
We’ll fumble in the dark and find it
And clumsily now
We’ll get to where we get
And through our broken steps, we’ll make it
We will make it
