๐ Lyrics
In our youthful condemnation, the truth speaks for itself
That in a time of darkness someone cried for help
So we told a simple story of innocence and lies
How the truth became so twisted in a single judge's eye
Our brave new Rainbow Nation was floating on the tide
In a sea of expectation and a hard-won sense of pride
But the wave of solidarity that swept across our land
Was broken on the rocks, left lifeless on the sand
It all seemed very simple, let the guilty take the blame
We can sing our songs of freedom and put them all to shame
Shine a light into the darkness, let them hear his name
But the more we try to change things, the more they stay, the same
Our brave new Rainbow Nation was floating on the tide
In a sea of expectation and a hard-won sense of pride
But the wave of solidarity that swept across our land
Was broken on the rocks, left lifeless on the sand
And no one else but Tyler knows exactly what he's missed
He's a man that's disappearing slowly, ceasing to exist
And the only contribution that he has left to give
Is the simple, tragic story of the life he's never lived, ooh
Our brave new Rainbow Nation was floating on the tide
In a sea of expectation and a hard-won sense of pride
But the wave of solidarity that swept across our land
Was broken on the rocks, left lifeless on the sand
Our brave new Rainbow Nation was floating on the tide
In a sea of expectation and a hard-won sense of pride
But the wave of solidarity that swept across our land
Was broken on the rocks, left lifeless on the sand
That in a time of darkness someone cried for help
So we told a simple story of innocence and lies
How the truth became so twisted in a single judge's eye
Our brave new Rainbow Nation was floating on the tide
In a sea of expectation and a hard-won sense of pride
But the wave of solidarity that swept across our land
Was broken on the rocks, left lifeless on the sand
It all seemed very simple, let the guilty take the blame
We can sing our songs of freedom and put them all to shame
Shine a light into the darkness, let them hear his name
But the more we try to change things, the more they stay, the same
Our brave new Rainbow Nation was floating on the tide
In a sea of expectation and a hard-won sense of pride
But the wave of solidarity that swept across our land
Was broken on the rocks, left lifeless on the sand
And no one else but Tyler knows exactly what he's missed
He's a man that's disappearing slowly, ceasing to exist
And the only contribution that he has left to give
Is the simple, tragic story of the life he's never lived, ooh
Our brave new Rainbow Nation was floating on the tide
In a sea of expectation and a hard-won sense of pride
But the wave of solidarity that swept across our land
Was broken on the rocks, left lifeless on the sand
Our brave new Rainbow Nation was floating on the tide
In a sea of expectation and a hard-won sense of pride
But the wave of solidarity that swept across our land
Was broken on the rocks, left lifeless on the sand
