You can't stop running water
You can't kill the fire that burns inside
Don't deny our flesh and blood
Don't forsake our sons and daughters

I think we're all runnin' thinkin' that we can hide
I think we're runnin' try in' to get away
But sooner or later we gonna realize
We gonna meet up with the truth face to face

You can't stop running water
You can't kill the fire that burns inside
Don't deny our flesh and blood
Don't forsake our sons and daughters

It's freedom of speech - as long as you don't say too much
But sooner or later we gonna realize
We gonna meet up with the truth face to face
