Description

Taking the night away
somewhere a heart is crying, a tear with every beat it takes, the price of segregation, who's gonna pay for these mistakes. we turn to southwest township, united voices cry as one, in terms of integration, because we've only just begun. open your, eyes here comes the morning, takin' the night away. open your eyes, a new day is dawning, it’s takin' the night away ¤ wide open doors an' windows, closed eyes an' minds refuse to see, that time an' tide are turning, an' hearts are yearning to be free. open your, eyes here comes the morning, takin' the night away, open your eyes, a new day is dawning, it’s takin' the night away, it's takin' the night away, it’s takin' the night away ¤ it’s the way of your life, the waste and the affluence, it’s the only life that you ever did know, there’s a crowd on the streets and it’s raging ‘cos anything goes. there’s bitterness in love, sweetness of hate, one final hour in everybody’s fate, when you open your eyes and your mind and your heart see the light ¤ wide open doors an' windows, closed eyes an' minds refuse to see that time an' tide are turning, an' hearts are yearning to be free. open your, eyes here comes the morning, takin' the night away. open your eyes, a new day is dawning, it’s takin' the night away, it's takin' the night away, it’s takin' the night away, it’s takin the night…….away ¤ somewhere a heart is crying, a tear with every beat it takes, the price of segregation, who's gonna pay for these mistakes

Taking The Night Away from the album A Matter of Time by Ajay Mathur
This song is dedicated to all the people around the world who stand up for political struggle against social injustice and isolation. These people have non-violently taken all the beating and repressions by the systems in power and have prevailed. - Ajay Mathur
