《The Great Divide》歌词

[00:00:00] The Great Divide - Janis Ian

[00:00:00] Written by：Janis Ian

[00:00:11] Come good people and gather 'round

[00:00:17] Step out of the water before you drown

[00:00:23] Tide is coming swift and deep

[00:00:25] Gonna knock you off your feet

[00:00:33] There's a tide of greed that knows no shame

[00:00:39] And a tide of money that holds no stain

[00:00:45] A tide of men who worship pride

[00:00:47] And will not be denied

[00:00:55] While politicians lie and cheat

[00:00:58] To get to higher ground

[00:01:00] We follow them like sheep

[00:01:03] And salute them as we drown

[00:01:06] But no man will be king

[00:01:09] When all men wear the crown

[00:01:11] And there will be a reckoning

[00:01:14] From deep inside the rising tide

[00:01:20] As we tear down the walls

[00:01:24] Of the great divide

[00:01:36] Come good people and gather here

[00:01:42] You who still hold freedom dear

[00:01:47] Step across the waters

[00:01:50] Bring your sons and daughters

[00:01:58] Some will sink and some will swim

[00:02:04] Some will walk on the water again

[00:02:09] Some will rise and some will fall

[00:02:12] Each one will hear the call

[00:02:20] While churches counsel patience

[00:02:23] And heavenly reward

[00:02:25] They sub divide our nations

[00:02:27] By the shield and by the sword

[00:02:31] And every congregation

[00:02:33] Has a pipeline to the lord

[00:02:36] But there will be no salvation

[00:02:38] And no place to hide for those who lied

[00:02:44] And buried us alive to build the walls

[00:02:49] Of the great divide

[00:03:01] And oh when the poorest of the poor

[00:03:04] Come knocking at the door

[00:03:07] They will not be denied

[00:03:11] And oh when those who took too much

[00:03:15] Are stripped of it and judged

[00:03:18] Then mercy will provide for the rising tide

[00:03:33] So come good people and gather 'round

[00:03:39] Come and stand on common ground

[00:03:44] Raise your voices up and sing

[00:03:47] Let's make the heavens ring

[00:03:55] And you whose silence costs your soul

[00:04:01] Learn to speak or dig your hole

[00:04:06] Tomorrow's here and it won't wait

[00:04:08] No time to hesitate

[00:04:17] The tide's already risen

[00:04:19] The deluge is at hand

[00:04:22] Don't sit there by the ocean

[00:04:24] While it sucks away the sand

[00:04:27] 'Cause you'll be left with nothing

[00:04:29] But the memory of land

[00:04:33] While we sit high above the tide

[00:04:36] And watch the walls begin to fall

[00:04:41] As one by one our children wave goodbye

[00:04:46] To the great divide
