Alexandria (Protest Version)
I was swept away by the waves of the river
But I was saved by the grace of god not growing any bitter
Alexandria, hear my voice and cry out...
It's come the time where we come together again and rejoice
I've been wanting to find out where I meant belong in a place where I can call home
But then many of us don't know who we are
Cause we don't ever take the time to discover the truth
Wish I can go back in time and tell the truth
I'm so glad I got to know the history the reality of the people I came from
The diversity where we come to rejoice as one
Discover the bottom of the sea unlock the treasure of our nation
This is the time where we come together again for celebration
Alexandria, I know you plead to my heart It's come the time
When we come discover again who we are
I've been waiting to find out where I meant to be in a group I call my family
But then many of us don't know who we are
Cause we don't ever take the time to discover the truth
Wish I can go back in time and tell the truth
I'm so glad I got to know the history the reality of the people I came from
The diversity where we come to rejoice as one
For once the wait is over we no longer have to search what is hidden
Look inside the boat it's all as it is written
One nation, united set holy and true
It doesn't matter how far we are
We don't ever take the time to discover the truth
Wish I can go back in time and tell the truth
I'm so glad I got to know the history the reality of the people I came from
The diversity where we come to rejoice as one
Discover the truth
Wish I can go back in time and tell the truth
I'm so glad I got to know the history the reality of the people I came from
The diversity where we come to rejoice as one
But I was saved by the grace of god not growing any bitter
Alexandria, hear my voice and cry out...
It's come the time where we come together again and rejoice
I've been wanting to find out where I meant belong in a place where I can call home
But then many of us don't know who we are
Cause we don't ever take the time to discover the truth
Wish I can go back in time and tell the truth
I'm so glad I got to know the history the reality of the people I came from
The diversity where we come to rejoice as one
Discover the bottom of the sea unlock the treasure of our nation
This is the time where we come together again for celebration
Alexandria, I know you plead to my heart It's come the time
When we come discover again who we are
I've been waiting to find out where I meant to be in a group I call my family
But then many of us don't know who we are
Cause we don't ever take the time to discover the truth
Wish I can go back in time and tell the truth
I'm so glad I got to know the history the reality of the people I came from
The diversity where we come to rejoice as one
For once the wait is over we no longer have to search what is hidden
Look inside the boat it's all as it is written
One nation, united set holy and true
It doesn't matter how far we are
We don't ever take the time to discover the truth
Wish I can go back in time and tell the truth
I'm so glad I got to know the history the reality of the people I came from
The diversity where we come to rejoice as one
Discover the truth
Wish I can go back in time and tell the truth
I'm so glad I got to know the history the reality of the people I came from
The diversity where we come to rejoice as one
