《Make Those Waters Part》歌词

[00:00:00] Make Those Waters Part - Doug Mishkin

[00:00:01] Let us retell the story of our

[00:00:05] Struggle for the promised land

[00:00:10] Let us remember how freedom is

[00:00:13] Won so our children will understand

[00:00:19] Once we were slaves in Egypt

[00:00:24] Our people and our land were apart

[00:00:28] But when Moses stood before

[00:00:30] That troubled sea he could

[00:00:33] Make those waters part

[00:00:47] Once we were slaves in America

[00:00:52] We were given white men's names

[00:00:56] They scattered our families

[00:00:58] They shattered our lives

[00:01:00] While they kept us bound in chains

[00:01:06] Then we marched strong in Selma

[00:01:10] We looked the racists right in the heart

[00:01:14] And when Martin stood before

[00:01:16] That troubled sea he could

[00:01:20] Make those waters part

[00:01:24] Those waters part

[00:01:29] Somewhere tonight lives a free man

[00:01:32] Somewhere else freedom's

[00:01:34] Just a song of the heart

[00:01:37] We must find the river

[00:01:39] Flowing between them

[00:01:42] And we must make those waters part

[00:01:47] Make those waters part

[00:01:52] Make those waters part

[00:01:56] Now we are slaves in our own time

[00:02:00] The many at the hands of the few

[00:02:05] And we who've crossed

[00:02:06] The sea of slavery before

[00:02:09] Must remember what we must do

[00:02:14] In the name of the

[00:02:15] Falsely imprisoned

[00:02:19] In the name of all

[00:02:20] The homeless at heart

[00:02:23] In the name of all

[00:02:25] The history that binds us

[00:02:28] We must make those waters part

[00:02:33] Make those waters part

[00:02:38] Make those waters part

[00:02:58] Troubled seas rising around us

[00:03:01] Sometimes the promised land

[00:03:04] Seems hidden from view

[00:03:07] So we retell these stories

[00:03:10] That's how we start

[00:03:12] To make those waters part

[00:03:16] Make those waters part

[00:03:21] Make those waters part

[00:03:25] Make those waters part

[00:03:30] Make those waters part

[00:03:34] Make those waters part

[00:03:39] Make those waters part
