Alone in the Morning

Unarmed lady
Bold as Nubian queens before us
Summer dress blowing
Her brown skin radiates straight through the shadows
The peace of Jesus
Dignity of Selma fathers
Like a ballerina, she stands alone in the morning
Armored penguins
Lumbering to the front lines
Ties and tasers, face shields and Kevlar to last a lifetime
The doubt of soldiers
Disquiet of the weary
And while they teeter, she stands alone in the morning
There's another way home
There's another way to be bold - she knows
There's another way home
There's another way to be whole
Cracks in pavement
Winding down along the boulevard
Twofold nation, black and blue or blue and red or white and black don't know where it ends
Blame it on the fathers, the fault is always another's
Though we are millions, we stand alone in the morning
There's another way home
There's another way to be bold - she knows
There's another way home
There's another way to be whole
Keep us calm, hanging on, through the fog of war
Give us peace in the heat of the coming storm
All the lines erased just return in the morning
So we look for grace to the queen of the morning
So we look for grace to the queen of the morning

The 99 (acoustic)

And they wine and dine
Their words are so benign
It's all by design
To disguise the crime
And we fall behind
We see it all the time
We walk the line
We are the ninety-nine
They grow fatter
And we don't matter
While the warnings bells continue to ring
No we won't swallow
And we won't follow
In the steps of an idiot king
They know they are the one
They are the only one
They are the sun
The whole world's waiting on
You know the rest of us
That's nearly everyone
We are the helpless ones
Until we rise and scream as one!
They grow fatter
And we don't matter
While the warnings bells continue to ring
No we won't swallow
And we won't follow
In the steps of an idiot king
We won't follow
no we won't follow...
