Hello California Morning, Hello Mississippi Dawn
Tennessee Rise, the sleep out of your eyes
You thought tomorrow ’d never come
How you wanna ride this wave mmmmm
Depends what frequency you’re on
Go and make yourself known
Tomorrow knows their own

I got joy in my heart this morning
I got trouble on my mind
Yes my people know how to feel two ways
About something at the very same time
Yeah the joy’s for the new day coming
Yeah the trouble’s for that too
Cause we’ve come so far - sooo far
But there’s so much left to do

Hello California Morning, Hello Mississippi Dawn
Tennessee Rise, the sleep out of your eyes
You thought tomorrow ’d never come
How you wanna ride this wave mmmmm
Depends what frequency you’re on
Go and make yourself known
Tomorrow knows their own

Oh the Freedom Riders calling
Told us to carry on
To be the ones, to be the ones
We shall not be overcome
Oh that long long Arc of Justice
That long long Arc of Peace
We Trouble these waters to be released
Come together now Tennessee
