Stop.
Listen.
Four women die daily in the U.S.,
killed by current or former intimate partners A love that turned to
hate,
what do I say about this?
Do I just sit back and wait?
That’s but all, one hundred and forty women and girls Are killed
by a family member or intimate partner globally People are losing control,
every day around the world It's a silent,
raging war, what am I fighting for?
Killed every 10 to 11 minutes A life erased,
a light gone out
By someone they love and trust
That is what’s goin on
Can I take responsibility
for myself and look inside?
To prevent this many deaths,
I gotta swallow my pride So I'm drawing a line in the
sand right now
This is my sacred vow I am BFF America
I take the pledge of nonviolence I’m living it daily
I will be nonviolent
Respect my body, protect Mother Earth We say,
I AM NVP, you can be too
It begins with me,
and it begins with each one of us
It’s about myself,
no other
I take the pledge,
with my camo wristband
Say it out loud for my brain to register,
for my heart and my hands I pledge to be nonviolent
I pledge to Respect my body,
I pledge to protect Mother Earth
BFF America, I AM NVP,
you can be too
It begins with me,
and it begins with you
Myself, no other
I can't control others
I can’t control the world,
but I can control my own mind I can control my own
hands, I can't fix the system,
I can fix me
My own words, my own rage,
the things that I choose to say
I won't let my ego or my anger lead me astray I'm
checking my reflection, I'm looking in my eyes Am I part of
the problem, or am I part of the rise?
I won't pass the blame,
I won't look the other way
I'm owning my actions,
starting right now Everyday every night,
I will be grateful for myself
No more excuses, no more 'not my problem' No more looking away,
I have to solve them This is my body,
my temple, my soul This is my planet,
and I'm taking control
Of my own heart,
of my own hands
I pledge...
to be nonviolent
I pledge... to respect my body
I pledge... to protect the earth
I AM NVP You can be too It begins with me
Me, myself, that’s all
Take the Pledge, I AM NVP...
You are?
