Lyrics

Talking Out Loud

They're coming in boats, drifting cross sand
Walking together to the Promise Land
What will it be when they get there?
The man of the hour is up on the sign
He’s talking out loud, wearing a shine
Who will he be when he gets there?

Black and white say stuck in our way
Front page come in color changing each day
Stand up tall. Make a change

Hold on if your soul is strong
Hold on it won't last so long
Hold on if it get uptight
We’ve got to make everybody feel alright

Shaking our guns like chosen ones
Waiting for the man to lay down our arms
When will it stop, start over again?
Revelation she creeps, wakes while we sleep
We living up town on gold-lined streets
Where oh where, in this world can we be?

I've seen a face, I know a name
I hear a voice but it don't sound the same
Stand up tall. Make a change

Hold on if your soul is strong
Hold on it won't last so long
Hold on if it get uptight
We're gonna make everybody feel alright

SOLO

I’ve been told, don't let go
This old world has been bought and sold
Stand up tall. Make a change

Hold on if your soul is strong
Hold on it won't last so long
Hold on if it gets uptight
It’s time we make everybody feel alright
We’ve got to make everybody feel alright
