The wind of change blows
The prison walls remain
The hurricane grows
The beast is a man
Will not be chained
How come this hesitation
When help is close at hand
Though everybody knows
That's the way it goes
And the wind blows
And the lion has to kill
Before the heartbeats of his children are stilled
(Can you feel the chill)
As the wind blows
Why do we wait as justice dies
The price is very high
Must the bullets fly
Mama, don't you cry
Got to stop the white lie
I couldn't believe it
To be so proud of it
Get what you gonna get
A teeny little bit
Is this the explanation
You never really cared
Well, with or without you
The truth is comin' through
And the wind blows
And the lion has to kill
Before the heartbeats of his children are stilled
(Can you feel the chill)
As the wind blows
Why do we wait as justice dies
The price is very high
Must the bullets fly
Mama, don't you cry
Got to stop the white lie
Our children are dying
Our nation is crying
The price of our freedom is blood in our eyes
You tell us be patient
For years we have carried you
Now all you offer is dust in our minds
And the wind blows
And the lion has to kill
Before the heartbeats of his children are stilled
(Can you feel the chill)
As the wind blows
Why do we wait as justice dies
The price is very high
Must the bullets fly
Mama, don't you cry
Got to stop the white lie
Got to stop the white lie
Got to stop the white lie
