A song inspired by the life of Martin Luther King. A song about standing up for your beliefs in the face of opposition.
Lyrics
Just a few clever words Cover up what you think you heard Was it really what you thought you saw? Cast your mind back to the night before Let me relieve you of your senses now Give me the proof, tell me how Do you believe the things you think? Are you sure, or did you blink? Tell it as it is Tell it as you always thought it should be Tell it as it is Pull the wool from your eyes, it's no surprise to see Keep a secret in a paper bag What's the price of the thins you had? Take your oath, swallow your vow Make your mind up and make it now I can show you things you've never seen Take you places you've never seen All I'm asking you in return Is spit your heart out and watch it burn Tell it as it is Tell it as you always thought it should be Tell it as it is Pull the wool from your eyes, it's no surprise to see
