I remember that monday morning |
|
When i was subpoenaed to be in court |
|
Many things ran through my mind |
|
I started thinking about the people |
|
All day long, trying to think of something to say to the people |
|
Are you ready for the question? |
|
All in favour, let it be known by standing on you feet |
|
I want young men and young women, who are not alive today |
|
But who will come into this world, with new preivleges |
|
And new oppurtunities |
|
I wnat them to know and see that these new priveleges and oppurtunities |
|
Did not come without somebody suffering and sacrificing for |
|
Freedom is never given to anybody |
|
Like anybody |
|
I would like to live a long life |
|
Longevity has its place |
|
But i'm not concerned about that now |
|
I just want to do god' will |
|
And he has allowed me to go up to the mountian |
|
And i've looked over |
|
And i've seen the promise land |
|
I may not get there with you |
|
But i want you to know tonight |
|
That we as a people |
|
Will get to the promise land |
|
So i'm happy tonight, i'm not worried about anything |
|
I'm not fearing any man |
|
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the lord |
|
Glory hallelujah, glory hallelujah |
|
Glory hallelujah, glory hallelujah |
|
His tuth is marching on |
