JACKSON BROWNE

JACKSON BROWNE - WHEN THE STONE BEGINS TO TURN lyrics

rate me

I come here for Dr. King

Who gave the people a precious thing

He found a light in the darkest hour

And the strength for speaking truth to power

And in the years since they shot him down

You see changes that once were a dream

Begin to come around

When the walls have begun to crumble

When the laws have begun to burn

When the winds is singing freedom

When the stone begins to turn

And I come here to praise Mandela

And to send this message to his jailer

Your walls may hold the man inside

But they'll never ever hold back the tide

'Cause in the years you've shut him away

A generation has grown where he stood

They're gonna see the day

When the walls have begun to crumble

When the laws have begun to burn

When the wind is singing freedom

When the stone begins to turn

We come here to sing for freedom

And to send our voices to the ones who need them

Freedom for South Africa

And justice for Nelson Mandela

'Cause in the years they've shut him away

A generation has grown where he stood

We're gonna see the day

When the walls have begun to crumble

When the laws have begun to burn

When the wind is singing freedom

When the stone begins to turn
