Текст песни The Great Awakening - Thelonius

An artist can paint a picture of what he sees
No matter his limitations of any shade
The goal is to watercolor a whole village
From black to white we'll advocate the gray
But the canvas is all wrong
The abundance is all gone
The powers that be weaken the strong
Here's the revolution you heard it first in the song
Somebody can battle hate with the love
Coming from the bottom to lead the people above
We're safe within the silence afraid of a conversation
The nation is divided because they divided the nation
What does it take to be great
Heavy the train to carry the freight
We need to believe and pray faithfully
We've been sleep for too long this is the great awakening

We know the work isn't done
This is the great awakening
We'll come together as one
This is the great awakening
We'll leave no stone that's unturned
This is the great awakening
Lift every voice with our words
This is the great awakening

My first love is Star City
And Star City's my first love
To me there was no place better than home
But now home is a long way from what it was
It's murder capital where they murder for capital
Homicide rate on the list that's international
Before the pandemic it was pandemonium
Overdosing demons and other levels of opium
I done seen the struggle of poorly neglecting babies
Single parent home that's dated back to the '80s
A child burdens all of the weight in a situation
And school is now an option for lack of an education
They don't teach you about your community in college
Who can feed to the people of nourishment and knowledge
My beloved we need to believe and I pray faithfully
We've been sleep for too long this is the great awakening

We know the work isn't done
This is the great awakening
We'll come together as one
This is the great awakening
We'll leave no stone that's unturned
This is the great awakening
Lift every voice with our words
This is the great awakening
