From SP3: “The Power of 3”
(Music: R. Rivera, M. Gambino, J. D’Aqui / Lyrics: M.Gambino)
***To everyone whose dream is to make a better life for their children than what they have had…. In other words, what should be just plain everyone.
—————————————————————————————————
You know we're proud Of where we’re from But the time has come For us to move on
To say it hurts To say goodbye Is the understatement Of all time
All that we ask of you is That you might understand
Like those who came before you Went there… Gave you your chance
If you would walk in these shoes Then you would feel the same
This is life It’s not a game
We’ll build a boat Hide on a train Do whatever it takes To make this change We want the freedom We want the thrill Of the Shining City On the hill
Can’t take the hunger Can’t take the fear The absence of all hope That we have here
Don’t want our children To live a lie Don’t want them ever thinking This is right
All that we ask of you is That you might understand
Like those who came before you Went there… Gave you your chance
If you would walk in these shoes Then you would feel the same
This is life It’s not a game
We’ll build a boat Hide on a train Do whatever it takes To make this change We want the freedom We want the thrill Of the Shining City On the hill
<Guitar Solo>
We’ll build a boat Hide on a train Do whatever it takes To make this change We want the freedom We want the thrill Of the Shining City On the hill
There may be a wall And it may be tall And when we climb it We just might fall But we’ll try again ‘Cause we want the thrill Of the Shining City On the hill
