What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
In our youthful condemnation
2
The truth speaks for itself
3
That in a time of darkness
4
Someone cried for help
5
So we told a simple story
6
Of innocence and lies
7
How the truth became so twisted
8
In a single judges eyes
9
Our brave new rainbow nation
10
Was floating on the tide
11
In a sea of expectation
12
And a hard-won sense of pride
13
But the wave of solidarity
14
That swept across our land
15
Was broken on the rocks
16
Left lifeless on the sand
17
It all seemed very simple
18
Let the guilty take the blame
19
We can sing our songs of freedom
20
And put them all to shame
21
Shine a light into the darkness
22
Let them hear his name
23
But the more we tried to change things
24
The more they stayed the same
25
Our brave new rainbow nation
26
Was floating on the tide
27
In a sea of expectation
28
And a hard-won sense of pride
29
But the wave of solidarity
30
That swept across our land
31
Was broken on the rocks
32
Left lifeless on the sand
33
And no one else but Tyler
34
Knows exactly what he's missed
35
He's a man that's disappearing
36
Slowly ceasing to exist
37
And the only contribution
38
That he has left to give
39
Is the simple tragic story
40
Of the life he's never lived
41
Our brave new rainbow nation
42
Was floating on the tide
43
In a sea of expectation
44
And a hard-won sense of pride
45
But the wave of solidarity
46
That swept across our land
47
Was broken on the rocks
48
Left lifeless on the sand
49
Our brave new rainbow nation
50
Was floating on the tide
51
In a sea of expectation
52
And a hard-won sense of pride
53
But the wave of solidarity
54
That swept across our land
55
Was broken on the rocks
56
Left lifeless on the sand
