Lyrics

Woke up this morning to a different day
Took off my blinders and saw a new way
It was always there in front of me
I just couldn't bother to see

The birds were singing like they always do
But I heard a melody that sounded brand new
It was always there, in my ear
But this morning it sounded so clear

Change has come
A new beat of the drum
Emerging from a sea of empty promises
Some battles were won
But there are more to come
Where victims are no longer anonymous

And we're standing on the shore
We hear the ocean roar
Ooh, the waves can't wash our fears away
See the rising tide
Wipe the tears we've cried
Ooh, won't let the undertow take us away

The afternoon sunlight pierced my eyes
I watched and listened, pain rising inside
How could this reality see the light of day
As excuses and blame got in the way

Nighttime was quiet, but filled with dread
The message was clear, even if nothing was said
It's easy to hide our faces from the light
Skulking around in the dark of the night

Change has come
A new beat of the drum
Emerging from a sea of empty promises
Some battles were won
But there are more to come
Where victims are no longer anonymous

And we're standing on the shore
We hear the ocean roar
Ooh, the waves can't wash our fears away
See the rising tide
Wipe the tears we've cried
Ooh, won't let the undertow take us away
Won't let the undertow take us away
