about
Sarah wrote "Do Not Call to Me, Despair" to honor Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and all the lives lost to police violence and racism. The song aims to bring us together in a chorus of hopefulness and solidifies a commitment to fight to make Black lives matter in America.
All the proceeds for this song will go to DIRECTLY TO The Anti Police-Terror Project, a social justice organization that actively counters police terror in communities of color through their innovative and humanistic programs and resources, such as Mental Health First, which provides a viable alternative to calling the police when we see community members who are experiencing mental health crises.
CHORUS
Do not call to me, despair
Do not call to me, despair
I feel her growing there
Like Ruth so true and fair
No more killing only caring
No more injustice only sharing
CHORUS
Do not call to me, despair
Do not call to me, despair
These grim days one day will end
Our painful wounds they will mend
No more tearing down, dividing
We’ll build each other up, be thriving
CHORUS
Do not call to me, despair
Do not call to me, despair
Let these words fly through the air
Reach those who feel their lives don’t matter here
You’re so valued and we will fight to make it clear
Shut down this system that’s killing you my dears
Shut it down, shut it down!
Shut it down, shut it down!
Shut it down, shut it down!
