1.white men
water's rising
by the beating of my drums
i am crying
see the shape of the things to come
i remember where i'm coming from
i remember where i've been
the tears like rain in babylon
falling for my next of kin
cause i don't believe what the white men say, hey-hey!
but i don't believe what the white men say!
water rising
by the beating of my drums
i am crying
see the shape of the things to come
i have lived through tears and joy
i have died a thousand deaths
now my world is just a playing toy
bite your tongue and hold your breath
cause i don't believe what the white men say, hey-hey!
but i don't believe what the white men say!
rivers rolling on she knows where i'll be
rivers rolling on she knows i'll be free
rivers rolling on wash that mountain to the sea
rivers rolling on there's a long forgotten truth in me
and i don't believe what the white men say, hey-hey!
cause i don't believe what the white men say.
