| He was walking with your brother on the streets of Alabama
|
| He was marching next to Martin when he died
|
| Working face to face in Cuba and Managua Nicaragua
|
| He did not yet beat the devil, but he tried
|
| Chorus:
|
| Hold on brother, Jesse Jackson
|
| There’s a better world a’coming
|
| Where a man can hope a man will show some heart
|
| You just keep right on believing
|
| In the better side of human
|
| They ain’t ready for it yet, but it’s a start
|
| And you move’em when you hit’em in the heart
|
| We must bring it all together we must start right from the bottom
|
| Back to helping one another when we can
|
| 'Cause if he’s hungry and he’s human and he’s fighting for his Freedom
|
| Then he shouldn’t be too hard to understand
|
| Chorus:
|
| Hold on brother, Jesse Jackson
|
| There’s a better world a’coming
|
| Where a man can hope a man will show some heart
|
| You just keep right on believing
|
| In the better side of human
|
| They ain’t ready for you yet, but it’s a start
|
| And you move’em when you hit’em in the heart
|
| Chorus:
|
| Hold on brother, Jesse Jackson
|

| In the better side of human
|
| They ain’t ready for you yet, but it’s a start
