Flood Of Emotion

Every mornin', I read the news
The front page of the daily blues
Crazy people everywhere
Acting up like they just don’t care
Makes me wonder why they do the things they do
Why they just can’t see past what’s right in front of you
Before we go too far and we can’t turn back
And mother nature is under attack
So hold back the rivers and turn back the tides
And open up the flood of emotion
Just be thankful for what you’ve got
And open up the flood of emotion
To our souls
I don’t understand, the actions of a man
Cold heart and no compassion
See that’s just a mother, and that’s just her child
It don’t mean anything to the rank and the file
But you can choose to lay there with your head in the sand
If it makes you feel safer or gives you the upper hand
So I’d rather shout out at the top of my voice
If that’s the only option, and then we simply got no choice
But to hold back the rivers and turn back the tides
And open up the flood of emotion
Just be thankful for what you’ve got
And open up the flood of emotion
To our souls, and turn back the tides
And open up the flood of emotion
Just be thankful for what you’ve got
And open up the flood of emotion
To our souls
Hold back the rivers and turn back the tides
And open up the flood of emotion
Just be thankful for what you’ve got
And open up the flood of emotion
To our souls
