The Wise Bloods - Turn the Tide Lyrics

We stand
We stand
Look like these haters on a roll
They win some ground
Now they wanna build a wall
How the hell did we ever let 'em get so tall
Offering promised lands for the ones who are feeling poor
That's pure lies, just to pull the wool up on a every fool
Not everyone on this planet can have it all
For some man come freedom for the rest come the law
Those who want to keep it, got to take it in a world so cruel
We stand, we live and we fight
When I close my eyes
But I fall and I cry
Every morning when I rise
And we live and we climb
When I close my eyes
And your eyes burn so bright
As I wait for fate to turn the tide
I see skies of blue
I see trees of green
With eyes closed I can feel an ocean breeze
Eyy
They make me leave my calling for the open seas
Another demand of fees from another company
Take me 'way far
Don't need no shopping mall
Eyyy
Go where there no punishment when your eye off the ball
They created the rat race now they stand above it all
They took what counts and now they still want more
We stand, we live and we fight
When I close my eyes
But I fall and I cry
Every morning when I rise
And we live and we climb
When I close my eyes
And your eyes burn so bright
As I wait for fate to turn the tide
As I wait for fate to turn the tide
As I wait for fate to turn the tide
As I wait for fate to turn the tide
