Dr. Dionne Mahaffey - Fade In The Water Lyrics

Fade in the water, bodies start to brawl
At the dock, we stand, we don't fall
From the riverbank to the city's call
United we rise, we stand tall

Harriott II blocked, tensions strike
Fights break out in the dead of night
Chair swings hard, bodies hit the tide
Montgomery's roar, we won't hide

Hands clenched tight, justice on the line
History echoes in Montgomery's shrine
From bus boycotts to riverfront might
We fight for what's right, in the day and the night

The chants grow louder, unity's flame
Ain't no turning back, we're reclaiming our name
With strength and resolve, we break every chain
In the heart of the South, our pride will remain

With fists raised high, voices in the night
We reclaimed the past, stood for what's right
Montgomery's spirit, forever ignites
In the wave's reflection, our future's bright

Fade in the water, no more silent cries
For justice and peace, we unify
From river dock to city streets we rally
In Montgomery's soul, our victory tally

Fade in the water, we rise, we shine
In the heart of the South, our legacy defined
