# Curtis Mayfield - New World Order

Darkness no longer, a child is born Mother shed tears of joy as baby test his lungs My daddy's not there where he ought to be Somewhere in Georgia, skinning and shooting craps on his knees

### Heading

Another victim born out here in the hood And based on statistics it really ain't all good Welfare takes the tab and daddy can't sign And it can't be seen, the family becomes a crime

#### Heading

The hunt is on and brother you're the prey Serving time in jail, it just ain't the way I'm living so hard, baby, that my hair is gray We got to make a change, it's a brand new day

##### Heading

A new world order, a brand new day A change of mind for the human race A new world order, a brand new day A change of mind for the human race

Operation influx and it's on the way We've just marched a million plus the other day Look we all witnessed the sweat rolling down Ms Liberty's head She knows the sleeping giant is no longer sleeping dead

Oh, what a fulfillment of prophecy Let us teach the children freedom's never been free It's okay to cry, go ahead and cry 'Cause Jesus wept but hope and faith he kept It's a new day

###### Heading

A new world order, a brand new day A change of mind for the human race A new world order, a brand new day A change of mind for the human race
