doc jazz - rising tide lyrics
there’s a new day dawning
word is on the street
people need no warning
they’re getting on their feet
it’s a fresh uprising
against hatred and despair
and it’s not surprising
that people start to care
’cause the information
has finally reached their ears
evil occupation
has brought their eyes to tears
can be no accepting
oppression and despair
racist domination
is anything but fair
when children bear the brunt of those wars
there’s only just so much we can take
this time the people will break open those doors
because it’s not too late
there’s nowhere to hide
can’t break our stride
we’re coming like a rising tide
cause justice is near
we no longer fear
we know that freedom will soon be here
from the smouldering ashes
a novel hope resp-wns
and it’s p-ssion clashes
with all immoral laws
like a phoenix rising
from all that’s been destroyed
fiery eyes despising
the forces you deployed
and its wings unfolding
to rise into the skies
there’ll be no withholding
when he comes down from the heights
might as well surrender
the reckoning is here
and for all offenders
the penalty is dear
when people face oppression for years
there’s only just so much they can take
this time the m-sses have abandoned their fears
because it’s not too late
’cause the information
has finally reached their ears
evil occupation
has brought their eyes to tears
can be no accepting
oppression and despair
racist domination
will no longer be there
