Harry Belafonte
The Moment
[Intro: Harry Belafonte’]
Maguire Music
Well I tell you that artists are the gatekeepers of truth
No words that are more important then in the community
The minute you step in and start to say something
Then you're on the right path
[Verse]
It's a day I never felt so long go (long go)
Like another sad song on the radio (radio)
Struggling again, it's another band here for the money
Never wins, oh no (oh, no)
(Tell me) how we all end up in the back slide
Put up half a hundred thousand dollar overnight (overnight)
Crime damn changed just anothеr dirty game
And the peoplе never win, say no (say no)
Mark Scarvy taught a brother how to unite (unite)
Malcolm X taught a brother that he had to fight (had to fight)
Never did a thing when they slang Lucy King
And then Malcolm did the thing, you know (you know)
Now you say it in your heart, why take it dear?
Wander to myself, do I really care?
Ever make a change if the music stop playin'
And the time come again? (come again)
When unity's the only thing to make us now
'Cos everybody in the bone a battleground
It's only 3 degrees that could separate G's
From dyin' on they knees (on they knees)
Show me where are the [?]
'Cos it's comin' now with much force
Wasn't [?], it's truly prophesied
[Chorus]
Could it be the moment
God is revealing
All of our deepest
Secrets and feelings
You know it's real now
Everyone can feel now
Don't say we know it
Time would reveal it
Could it be the end of time?
Is this the end of time?
[Verse]
Now I'm standing at the bus stop (bus stop)
Tryna head to the train stop
But ain't no buses comin' round
'Cos the city's shut down
Since, something' goin' round, stay home (now stay home)
(They done) closed all the borders too
Into national curfew
You could be Mexican, Korean or Black, European
The troubles coming right at your door (your door)
(I used to) What's this I'm talking 'bout?
It's like the world left with so much doubt
Look at someone eyes and would never realise
All the pain that derives (that derives)
(I used to) Damn what we gonna do?
Before the tragedy will struggle too
If there's a lesson in the song, just say it in your prays
[Chorus]
Could it be the moment
God is revealing
All of our deepest
Secrets and feelings
You know it's real now
Everyone can feel now
Don't say we know it
Time would reveal it
Could it be the end of time?
Is this the end of time?
Could it be the moment
God is revealing
All of our deepest
Secrets and feelings
You know it's real now
Everyone can feel now
Don't say we know it
Time would reveal it
Could it be the end of time?
Is this the end of time?
