There Will Be a Reckoning
Somewhere between the midnight And the cold and empty dawn I found myself out walking On the streets where I was born And I came upon a stranger Who looked me in the face And asked me what I was doing In this god forsaken place
I don't need to be forgiven For something I haven't done Not for wanting my family To find their place in the sun If you keep this pressure on Just don't be surprised If I can't summon up my dignity While you're roughing up my pride
There will be a reckoning For the pedlars of hate, Who spread their poison all across this estate And a reckoning too, for the politicians who Left us to this fate There will be a reckoning

I don't need to be forgiven For something I haven't done Not for wanting my family To find their place in the sun If you keep this pressure on Just don't be surprised If I can't summon up my dignity While you're roughing up my pride
There will be a reckoning For the pedlars of hate, Who spread their poison all across this estate And a reckoning too, for the politicians who Left us to this fate There will be a reckoning There will be a reckoning There will be a reckoning There will be a reckoning
