They say these are dangerous times Got to be on guard Bad news across the land Rumors of war
And all along the border lines You can feel the strain And loking back through the years Ain't nothing changed
They shook the redman's hand And forever changed his destiny Put him on some Godforsaken land And took away his dignity
Now he floats in dreams where eagles fly Sinking in the stream of wasted lives They're just standing by Until they reach the other side
Homeless people shuffle alone in the dark With everything they own in a grocery cart And still the lines are drawn between colours of skin Just a broken wing that never mends
They took their heavy load With discrimination on the run Marching down the dusty roads Singing we shall overcome
Standing up for all they believe was right They knew that God was on their side Will we ever see the light Before we reach the other side
Far across the sea Young people gather on the square Trying to set their spirits free There was revolution in the air
Singing songs of freedom through the night Who could know they would have to lay down their lives And never know the reason why Until they reach the other sideTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
