Southern |
| 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 Im not concerned about that now |
| I just want to do god will |
| And he has allowed me to go up to the mountian |
| And Ive looked over |
| And Ive 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 Im happy tonight, Im not worried about anything |
| Im 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 |
