doug mishkin - make those waters part lyrics

let us retell the story
of our struggle for the promised land
let us remember how freedom is won
so our children will understand

once we were slaves in egypt
our people and our land were apart
but when moses stood before that troubled sea
he could make those waters part

once we were slaves in america
we were given white men’s names
they scattered our families
they shattered our lives
while they kept us bound in chains

when we marched strong in selma
we looked the racists right in the heart
and when martin stood before that troubled sea
he could make those waters part
make those waters part

somewhere tonight lives a free man
somewhere else, freedom’s just a song of the heart
we must find the river flowing between them
and we must make those waters part
make those waters part
make those waters part
now we are slaves in soweto
the many at the hands of the few
and we who’ve crossed the sea of slavery before
must remember what we must do

in the name of the falsely imprisoned
in the name of all the homeless at heart
in the name of all the history that binds us
we must make those waters part
make those waters part
make those waters part

troubled seas rising around us
sometimes the promised land seems hidden from view
so we retell these stories; that’s how we start
to make those waters part
make those waters part
make those waters part
(make those waters part)
make those waters part
(make those waters part)
make those waters part
(make those waters part)
make those waters part
(make those waters part)
make those waters part
(make those waters part)
