 JACKSON BROWNE - When The Stone Begins To Turn Lyrics

i5i101016m162324mii13b

i5i101016m162324mii13b
I come here for Dr. King
i5i101016m162324mii13b
Who gave the people a precious thing
i5i101016m162324mii13b
He found a light in the darkest hour
i5i101016m162324mii13b
And the strength for speaking truth to power
i5i101016m162324mii13b

i5i101016m162324mii13b
And in the years since they shot him down
i5i101016m162324mii13b
You see changes that once were a dream
i5i101016m162324mii13b
Begin to come around
i5i101016m162324mii13b

i5i101016m162324mii13b
When the walls have begun to crumble
i5i101016m162324mii13b
When the laws have begun to burn
i5i101016m162324mii13b
When the winds is singing freedom
i5i101016m162324mii13b
When the stone begins to turn
i5i101016m162324mii13b

i5i101016m162324mii13b
And I come here to praise Mandela
i5i101016m162324mii13b
And to send this message to his jailer
i5i101016m162324mii13b
Your walls may hold the man inside
i5i101016m162324mii13b
But they'll never ever hold back the tide
i5i101016m162324mii13b

i5i101016m162324mii13b
'Cause in the years you've shut him away
i5i101016m162324mii13b
A generation has grown where he stood
i5i101016m162324mii13b
They're gonna see the day
i5i101016m162324mii13b

i5i101016m162324mii13b
When the walls have begun to crumble
i5i101016m162324mii13b
When the laws have begun to burn
i5i101016m162324mii13b
When the wind is singing freedom
i5i101016m162324mii13b
When the stone begins to turn
i5i101016m162324mii13b

i5i101016m162324mii13b
We come here to sing for freedom
i5i101016m162324mii13b
And to send our voices to the ones who need them
i5i101016m162324mii13b
Freedom for South Africa
i5i101016m162324mii13b
And justice for Nelson Mandela
i5i101016m162324mii13b

i5i101016m162324mii13b
'Cause in the years they've shut him away
i5i101016m162324mii13b
A generation has grown where he stood
i5i101016m162324mii13b
We're gonna see the day
i5i101016m162324mii13b

i5i101016m162324mii13b
When the walls have begun to crumble
i5i101016m162324mii13b
When the laws have begun to burn
i5i101016m162324mii13b
When the wind is singing freedom
i5i101016m162324mii13b
When the stone begins to turn
i5i101016m162324mii13b
