Doxology - The Revolution Lyrics
There's something you should know about my friendsWe take the time to make amendsFor this mess we're inAnd there's no reason to believe that we can changeUnless we knowthat we can make a differenceWe can make a differenceIn this world we're livin' inI don't know where to beginBut we gotta start somewhereStart somewhereThere's no way I'm givin' inTo this fear I'm livin' withSo I'll yell from the rooftopThis is where it beginsChorus:This is why I'm of a revolutionSearching for the signs of life on earthBut something in the waterStopped the evolution of manI've got a planThe revolution manWhen this is overWhen this is doneWhen the revolution's begunI'll be standin' in the middle of a crowdWith fists held highAnd there ain't no one that can stop the fire insideI can see it in your eyesRepeat ChorusBridge:Said I'll be wishin for the wisdomWhen the system is brokenTryin' to listen to that mission in the words that were spokenTryin' to figure out what all these politicians are smokin', you know what I meanAnd in the words of Martin Luther King, "I'm free at last"But only if we split the differences and learn from the pastAnd then our children won't be livin' in a spiritual fastAnd the world keeps on turnin'But if there's a lining in the skyWe can rely on as oneIt's that there's whisper in the windTalkin' bout revolutionIt's in our mothers, brothers, daughtersSisters, fathers and sonsAnd in the second that we speak itThen the battles begunRepeat Chorus
