lirik lagu justin michael williams - the turning
[verse 1]
it’s time to unite for human rights
the door is open now ever so slight
on the backs of great souls who died for the cause
this victory rides on sacred laws
the cops can no longer erase
the laws they once put into place
for our time has eyes, digital spies
visions captured the lens does not lie
[pre-chorus]
discrimination is k!lling the nations
breaking hearts of the young generation
is this the best we can leave behind?
a world where the blind lead the fearful blind
[chorus]
listen to the sound of the turning tide
where all men walk side-by-side
where man sees himself in his brother’s eyes
where mother earth no longer cries
no longer, longer cries
[verse 2]
the tears of our mothers reach heaven’s gate
long lay the sages in wait
mankind must choose now to change his fate
or watch the world disintegrate
mine and yours creates terrible wars
world’s refugees drown at our doors
while the hawk flies with hooded eyes
man’s demise should be no surprise
[pre-chorus]
discrimination is k!lling the nations
breaking hearts of the young generation
is this the best we can leave behind?
a world where the blind lead the fearful blind
[chorus]
listen to the sound of the turning tide
where all men walk side-by-side
where man sees himself in his brother’s eyes
where mother earth no longer cries (no longer, no longer)
no longer, longer cries (no longer, no longer)
[monologue]
though the centuries have turned to the 21st
mankind’s fear and hatred looms ever worse
how many black men have to die
before we cross this great divide?
the sword of arrogance, greed, and pride
has bled all nations of indigenous tribe
now the river of blood has risen so high
all men are horrified
though justice has taken wing at last
it’s time for her to descend and nest in our hearts
so that man can evolve beyond instinct, and race, and shame
and be replaced by the winds of grace
[chorus]
listen to the sound of the turning tide
where all men walk side-by-side
where man sees himself in his brother’s eyes
where mother earth no longer cries
no longer, longer cries
