Saw the news this morning, heard the tribal beat

Saw people holding placards, tired of deceit

Another line to take away a dream we built our lives for What’s more

Politicians and their writers, spin another take

Refuse to see the ruin ahead for the dollars they might make

What good is the water, lay waste by profits knife?

What good the air, the trees, the land if they cannot give us life?

And, as sure as the sun shines, as sure as the grass grows, and the rivers flow

I’ll be there beside you, pulsing through your veins you’ll feel my heart you know

Time has come to recognize deceptions of the past

Seek truth and stand together, at last

Silent misconceptions blur and separate

Turn open words to whispers, answers fade away

Hope and understanding hide under the floor

What for?

Hidden legislation buried for the cost

Of billion dollar back room deals that profit from our loss What good is tomorrow if born to die in waste?

Is trust just an illusion, is a promise a mistake?

And, as sure as the sun shines, as sure as the grass grows, and the rivers flow I’ll be there beside you, pulsing through your veins you’ll feel my heart you know Time has come to recognize deceptions of the past

Seek truth and stand together, at last

Sure as the sun, sure as the trees, and the rivers flow free I’ll be there, I’ll be there, you can count on me

I’ll be with you when we stand together at last

And, as sure as the sun shines, as sure as the grass grows, and the rivers flow

I’ll be there beside you, pulsing through your veins you’ll feel my heart you know

Time has come to recognize deceptions of the past

Seek truth and stand together, at last
