The Great Unraveling

Lyrics by Marcy Rosenbaum

I woke up crying, feeling like a lost little girl

There’s no denying, sometimes I don’t understand this world

Is this the great unraveling, is this the great divide     

Should I just keep on traveling or lock myself in and hide   

All our ancestors, yours came here and mine stayed home

But there’s no difference, hope and hardship make us roam

The waters are rising, the deserts are growing, wars are raging, the 

People are going, the people are going, the people are going

Is this the great unraveling, is this the great divide                       

Should I just keep on traveling, is this the rising tide

I woke up smiling and dreaming of this song

Where I felt settled and finally feel like I belong

Is this the great unraveling, is this the great divide

 Is this the great awakening, where we all end up on the same side

The waters are rising, the desserts are growing, wars are raging, the 

People are going, the people are going, the people are going (the people are going)

Is this the great unraveling, is this the great divide                   

Is this the great awakening, Arms open or fist held tight

Arms open or fists held tight

Arms wide open
