| You’ve been running from the ghost
|
| You keep it hidden in your past
|
| The veil before your face is falling, and it’s falling fast
|
| I won’t go blindly in the night
|
| I would drag you to the light
|
| I stood up to the mountain
|
| Told the mountain, «Say my name»
|
| And if you’re tired of walking
|
| Let the children lead the way
|
| 'Cause I love you, I won’t leave you
|
| Won’t let you slip away
|
| Come what may
|
| We’re gonna find a way
|
| The South gotta change
|
| The South gotta change
|
| You’ve told a lie for so long
|
| You’re a stranger to yourself
|
| You’re all dressed up in make-belive
|
| To be somebody lse
|
| So listen closely when I sing
|
| That the truth would set you free
|
| I stood up to the mountain
|
| Told the mountain, «Say my name»
|
| And if you’re tired of walking
|
| Let the children lead the way
|
| 'Cause I love you, I won’t leave you
|
| Won’t let you slip away
|
| Come what may
|
| We’re gonna find a way
|
| The South gotta change
|
| The South gotta change
|
| Change
|
| Change
|
| It ain’t no clean play to make up
|
| Man would squarely hear this pain
|
| We still fall in power, lets him
|
| Hide from what he is ashamed
|
| But your walls are falling down
|
| So you gotta face me now
|
| I stood up to the mountain
|
| Told the mountain, «Say my name»
|
| And if you’re tired of walking
|
| Let the children lead the way
|
| 'Cause I love you, I won’t leave you
|
| Won’t let you slip away
|
| Come what may
|
| We’re gonna find a way
|
| I stood up to the mountain
|
| Told the mountain, «Say my name»
|
| And if you’re tired of walking
|
| Let the children lead the way
|
| 'Cause I love you, I won’t leave you
|
| Won’t let you slip away
|
| Come what may
|
| We’re gonna find a way
|
| The South gotta change
|
| Change
|
| South gotta change
|
| Just gotta change, just gotta change
|
| South gotta change, it’s gotta change
|
| Just gotta change |
