Paroles de Southern
I remember that Monday morningWhen 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 ím not concerned about that now
I just want to do God' will
And he has allowed me to go up to the mountian
And Íve looked over
And Íve 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 Ím happy tonight, Ím not worried about anything His tuth is marching on
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 ím not concerned about that now
I just want to do God' will
And he has allowed me to go up to the mountian
And Íve looked over
And Íve 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 Ím happy tonight, Ím not worried about anything His tuth is marching on
