Lyrics

TRUTH IS COMING, WISDOM FOLLOWS
©Sahlen-Starburst 2015

Introduction: song should start out with the distant sound of kids playing in the street and singing in a muffled/muted way: "Its raining, its pouring, the old man is snoring" using the actual melody that this old nursery rhyme uses even though the song's melody will be different.

It is raining, it is pouring, let us pray that we don't drown
Our ancestors must be crying up above as they look down
At chaotic old beliefs which surely shouldn't last
As we peek into the future, wave goodbye to what has passed

Chorus
We are rising, we are falling, we are caught halfway between
Children born of innocence still struggling to be seen
Still believing, now we're standing, showing ultimate respect
Truth is coming, wisdom follows, it's the ending of neglect

We are walking cross the country, drawing legends as we go
Our own people, we are certain truth has come to say it's so
All that matters, every moment of our voyage on this path
As we see the arc of freedom, old ideas are torn in half

Chorus
We are rising, we are falling, we are caught halfway between
Children born of innocence still struggling to be seen
Still believing, now we're standing, showing ultimate respect
Truth is coming, wisdom follows, it's the ending of neglect

Break

Chorus
We are rising, we are falling, we are caught halfway between
Children born of innocence still struggling to be seen
Still believing, now we're standing, showing ultimate respect
Truth is coming, wisdom follows, it's the ending of neglect
