Tekster: Kate Campbell. Faces In The Water.

(Civil Rights Memorial Song)

I see faces in the water of a time not gone by
I see places in the water where so many souls won?t die
I hear babies and their mothers
Crying Lord, oh lord why
I hear wailing for their brothers
And their fathers without life
From the faces in the water
Brightly shines through freedom?s cry

I see faces in the water of new life that answers why
Through those faces in the water
We can feel a change draw nigh
You can see the clouds are moving
Giving way to the light
People everywhere are saying
Now?s the time for love to shine
From the faces in the water
Came a better world we can?t deny

You can see the clouds are moving
Giving way to the light
People everywhere are saying
Now?s the time for love to shine
From the faces in the water
Came a better world we can?t deny
