Flood Of Emotion - Climax Blues Band

Every mornin', I read the news

The front page of the daily blues

Crazy people everywhere

Acting up like they just don’t care

Makes me wonder why they do the things they do

Why they just can’t see past what’s right in front of you

Before we go too far and we can’t turn back

And mother nature is under attack

So hold back the rivers and turn back the tides

And open up the flood of emotion

Just be thankful for what you’ve got

And open up the flood of emotion

To our souls

I don’t understand, the actions of a man

Cold heart and no compassion

See that’s just a mother, and that’s just her child

It don’t mean anything to the rank and the file

But you can choose to lay there with your head in the sand

If it makes you feel safer or gives you the upper hand

So I’d rather shout out at the top of my voice

If that’s the only option, and then we simply got no choice

But to hold back the rivers and turn back the tides

And open up the flood of emotion

Just be thankful for what you’ve got

And open up the flood of emotion

To our souls, and turn back the tides

And open up the flood of emotion

Just be thankful for what you’ve got

And open up the flood of emotion

To our souls

Hold back the rivers and turn back the tides

And open up the flood of emotion

Just be thankful for what you’ve got

And open up the flood of emotion

To our souls
