Southern Songtext

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 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 Ím 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
