The Tides Have Turned
Will America ever be the same?
Will freedom live, will democracy reign?
Will we return to where we used to be?
Will America stay the land of the free?
Will diversity finally be embraced by all,
Or will it take one fatal fall?
Can we truly be equal in an unbalanced land,
Or will the people take a final stand?
Will we be forced to struggle through life?
Will justice prevail in the midst of our strife?
Will the greedy take over and make us flee
This place we call home, the land of the free?
Perhaps if we’re loud, courageous, and bold,
The story won’t be grim when it’s finally told.
Gone with the racists and bigots who hate,
A brand new America will finally be great.
To future generations coming of age,
History just turned a brand new page.
No longer a dream that we're waiting to see,
We’ve fought for the right to be truly free.
Freedom, we've found, is a prize we have earned.
The tides have finally turned.
