ITS A NEW DAY

ITS A NEW DAY

I called it freedom to do as I please 
To decide the right to life 
And who swings from a tree

Give me the the whiteness of the clouds 
And not the shades of black or brown 
For white clouds are from above 
Black and brown are just clay of the ground 

It is my right to chastise my slaves 
I have bought them with the price of deception 
I will determine their length days

In my cities or the countryside 
I shall do with them as I please
I am to them a law of order and correctness 
Their backs I shall pierce with led
And their necks I will crush with my knees 

From distant shores I've brought them 
To this land where indigenous people once roamed 
I fell upon them very swiftly calling their land my home

I showed no mercy or compassion 
In my eyes they were savages 
And enemies of my dreams 
I raised my flag above their lifeless bodies 
And build my cities in their blood and innocent screams 

But a new day is dawning 
The heavens has heard their cries 
Solidarity is the voice of the morning 
This generation will not quietly stand by

They will topple your idols and statues 
They will breakdown your walls of division 
They will burn your teachings of racism 
This you will experience in your lifetime 
From this new and upcoming generation.
