New World Order |
Darkness no longer, a child is born |
Mother shed tears of joy as baby test his lungs |
My daddy’s not there where he ought to be |
Somewhere in Georgia, skinning and shooting craps on his knees |
Another victim born out here in the hood |
And based on statistics it really ain’t all good |
Welfare takes the tab and daddy can’t sign |
And it can’t be seen, the family becomes a crime |
The hunt is on and brother you’re the prey |
Serving time in jail, it just ain’t the way |
I’m living so hard, baby, that my hair is gray |
We got to make a change, it’s a brand new day |
A new world order, a brand new day |
A change of mind for the human race |
A new world order, a brand new day |
A change of mind for the human race |
Operation influx and it’s on the way |
We’ve just marched a million plus the other day |
Look we all witnessed the sweat rolling down Ms Liberty’s head |
She knows the sleeping giant is no longer sleeping dead |
Oh, what a fulfillment of prophecy |
Let us teach the children freedom’s never been free |
It’s okay to cry, go ahead and cry |
'Cause Jesus wept but hope and faith he kept |
It’s a new day |
A new world order, a brand new day |
A change of mind for the human race |
A new world order, a brand new day |
A change of mind for the human race |
The die has been cast and there’s no need to fear |
'Cause people, the answer to your prayers are here |
Sister Mary don’t you weep, tell Martha not to moan |
We need the love and daddy’s coming home |
There’s no need to worry, the times dictate a plan |
Mother Earth’s given birth to a brand new man |
Sister I know you’re misunderstood |
But hold on to your man 'cause the future looks good |
It’s a new day |
A new world order, a brand new day |
A change of mind for the human race |
A new world order, a brand new day |
A change of mind for the human race |
Beware of the lies and false prophecies |
We are many with eyes but don’t all really see |
You must be merciful, my friend, to obtain the same |
So if you break the chain don’t pass the blame |
We should say unto all and I’ll say it again |
It’s not just to win, shake a hand, make a friend |
We who are pure at heart somehow might see |
There’s still light in the world, come rejoice with me |
It’s a new day |
A new world order, a brand new day |
A change of mind for the human race |
A new world order, a brand new day |
A change of mind for the human race |
It’s a new day, it’s a new day |
It’s a new day, it’s a new day |
It’s a new day |
It’s a new day |
Yes, Lord, it’s a brand new day |
