The Cry of a Divided Nation

from Divided States by Monk Turner

/

lyrics

Before this Union dies
Let’s open up our eyes
And see that something’s wrong
This freedom is a lie

A lie that makes us say
That everything’s okay
That we are all the same
And we should just to move on

Oooooh
Don’t turn away

Oooooh
Can’t you hear the sound
The cry of a divided nation

Some don’t even to try
Just go about their lives
And only to choose to see
What they want to believe

But some don’t have that choice
But we won’t hear their voice
They’re lucky if they get
To live another day

Oooooh
Don’t turn away

Oooooh
Can’t you hear the sound
The cry of a divided nation

Oooooh
Don’t turn away

Oooooh
Can’t you hear the sound
The cry of a divided nation
