The Great Divide - Janis Ian[00:00:00]

Written by：Janis Ian[00:00:00]

Come good people and gather 'round[00:00:11]

Step out of the water before you drown[00:00:17]

Tide is coming swift and deep[00:00:23]

Gonna knock you off your feet[00:00:25]

There's a tide of greed that knows no shame[00:00:33]

And a tide of money that holds no stain[00:00:39]

A tide of men who worship pride[00:00:45]

And will not be denied[00:00:47]

While politicians lie and cheat[00:00:55]

To get to higher ground[00:00:58]

We follow them like sheep[00:01:00]

And salute them as we drown[00:01:03]

But no man will be king[00:01:06]

When all men wear the crown[00:01:09]

And there will be a reckoning[00:01:11]

From deep inside the rising tide[00:01:14]

As we tear down the walls[00:01:20]

Of the great divide[00:01:24]

Come good people and gather here[00:01:36]

You who still hold freedom dear[00:01:42]

Step across the waters[00:01:47]

Bring your sons and daughters[00:01:50]

Some will sink and some will swim[00:01:58]

Some will walk on the water again[00:02:04]

Some will rise and some will fall[00:02:09]

Each one will hear the call[00:02:12]

While churches counsel patience[00:02:20]

And heavenly reward[00:02:23]

They sub divide our nations[00:02:25]

By the shield and by the sword[00:02:27]

And every congregation[00:02:31]

Has a pipeline to the lord[00:02:33]

But there will be no salvation[00:02:36]

And no place to hide for those who lied[00:02:38]

And buried us alive to build the walls[00:02:44]

Of the great divide[00:02:49]

And oh when the poorest of the poor[00:03:01]

Come knocking at the door[00:03:04]

They will not be denied[00:03:07]

And oh when those who took too much[00:03:11]

Are stripped of it and judged[00:03:15]

Then mercy will provide for the rising tide[00:03:18]

So come good people and gather 'round[00:03:33]

Come and stand on common ground[00:03:39]

Raise your voices up and sing[00:03:44]

Let's make the heavens ring[00:03:47]

And you whose silence costs your soul[00:03:55]

Learn to speak or dig your hole[00:04:01]

Tomorrow's here and it won't wait[00:04:06]

No time to hesitate[00:04:08]

The tide's already risen[00:04:17]

The deluge is at hand[00:04:19]

Don't sit there by the ocean[00:04:22]

While it sucks away the sand[00:04:24]

'Cause you'll be left with nothing[00:04:27]

But the memory of land[00:04:29]

While we sit high above the tide[00:04:33]

And watch the walls begin to fall[00:04:36]

As one by one our children wave goodbye[00:04:41]

To the great divide[00:04:46]
