Echos of Tomorrow

On this Earth we all reside One world where differences collide Wake up and see the mess we're in It's time to change to stop the spin! A mother cries for her son she lost! Headlines scream the heavy cost Of senseless acts and endless hate How many more will seal our fate? Hear the cries the sirens wail As we dance on this thin veil Hate's a fire it's burning bright Blinding us in its bitter light Scream it out echoes of tomorrow We're on the brink no time to borrow See the truth don't let it fade Rage against this hate parade Look beyond the surface see what's true Shatter the barriers make a breakthrough Shout it loud make them hear Change or watch as it all disappears Broken glass and burning signs Red and blue and bitter lines Racism's grip so cold and tight Lives snuffed out in the dead of night She's shamed for the color of her skin He's cursed for who he loves within What's it take to break this chain? Before we're all lost to this pain? Feel the heat the anger rise A world blind to its own demise Tearing through this shroud of fear Will we listen? Will we hear? Scream it out echoes of tomorrow We're on the brink no time to borrow See the truth don't let it fade Rage against this hate parade Look beyond the surface see what's true Shatter the barriers make a breakthrough Shout it loud make them hear Change or watch as it all disappears On the edge the world's aflame Rage against this cruel game Rising tides of anger and spite We're losing ground in this endless fight Capitol steps and empty streets Echoes of the hatred that repeats It's time to rise it's time to roar To end this nightmare to settle the score Stories fade but hearts still burn The truth we need when will we learn? See the truth in every face Erase the hatred find the grace Hold on tight ignite the spark Shout for peace pierce through the dark Scream it out echoes of tomorrow We're on the brink no time to borrow See the truth don't let it fade Rage against this hate parade Look beyond the surface see what's true Shatter the barriers make a breakthrough Shout it loud make them hear Change or watch as it all disappears
