Elijah McClain was murdered at the hands of Aurora Colorado authorities. The bodycam footage of the incident at 15:34 is particularly revealing.

lyrics

We saw him yesterday
Elijah was on his way
Glowing and whippet-thin
Floating above the fray
Beating his heart is free
Sight and simplicity
Dancing and violins
Bright eccentricity

Quiet and healing soul
A gentleman we are told
Promise in every fold
Extending a hand to hold
He was kind

Innocent and subdued
Motive is misconstrued
Pleading with gratitude
Celestial latitude
In a kinetic tide
Particles energized
Speeding into the night
Atoms as we collide

Falling in front of our eyes
Justice is silent and going blind
So many innocent lives
Taken with violence and by design

This is our time
Now we arrive
The answer is opening

In the Aurora night
Calling out for his life
They took it just the same
Lest we forget his name
For Elijah
