There is a Truth That Can Heal Us...
...if we let it. Fly worldwide release day! Now available for download
In 2023, we released the video of the new anthem, “Fly (aka Fortune’s Song)” to the world, announcing that “there is a truth that can heal us if we let it.” We have been overwhelmed and astounded by the response to the song! The video has been shown in communities around the world to inspire people to lean into the call of truth-telling and repair. People have been playing in their homes, during church services, for retreat gatherings, conferences, and more. From justice movement spaces in the United States to Aboriginal leaders in Australia, people are resonating with the call to repair what racial hierarchy has broken in the world. We’ve lived under the power of lies for too long. It is time to embrace truth and “Fly to a better world for you and I.”

Co-produced by Lisa Sharon Harper and Andre Henry, performed by Andre and written by Lisa with Common Hymnal’s Phillip Joubert and Vincent Charlow.
Inspired by Lisa’s book, Fortune: How Race Broke My Family and the World–And How To Repair It All, “Fly” is a clarion call to truth-telling and repair in an age when state governments are legislating the suppression and twisting of history. Fortune Game Magee is Lisa’s likely 10th Great Grandmother. Born 1687 on the Eastern Shore of Maryland to an enslaved Senegalese father and an indentured Ulster Scot mother, Fortune and her descendants absorbed the terror of the first race laws on American soil. “Fly (aka Fortune’s Song)” is the song Lisa imagined Fortune to sing to us today—if she could. “Fly” dares us to dream of the healing truth can bring, if we let it.
