Hello California Morning, Hello Mississippi Dawn.
Tennessee Rise, the sleep out of your eyes
You thought tomorrowd never come
How you wanna ride this wave mmmmm
Depends what frequency youre on
Go and make yourself known
I got joy in my heart this morning
I got trouble on my mind
Yes my people know how to feel two ways
About something at the very same time
Yeah the joys for the new day coming
Yeah the troubles for that too
Cause weve come so far / sooo far
But theres so much left to do.
Hello California Morning, Hello Mississippi Dawn.
Tennessee Rise, the sleep out of your eyes
You thought tomorrowd never come
How you wanna ride this wave mmmmm
Depends what frequency youre on
Go and make yourself known
Tomorrow knows their own
Oh the Freedom Riders calling
Told us all to carry on
To be the ones, to be the ones
We shall not be overcome
Oh that long long Arc of Justice
That long long Arc of Peace
We Trouble these waters to be released
Come together now Tennessee
Oh The Trail of Tears is still rolling
Ole Tennessee waltzing in blood
My daughter cant sleep for the nightmares
Every night shes gunned down at school
Everyday she sings her wild anthems
She beats her fears out on her drums
Now shes a wolf cub yeah shes Harriet Tubman
Can we be brave as our children?
Hello California Morning, Hello Mississippi Dawn.
Tennessee rise, the sleep out of our eyes
You thought tomorrowd never come
How you wanna ride this wave mmmmm
Depends what frequency youre on

Tomorrow knows their own ) x 2
