How long can we pretend for? We're the land of the free Ask yourself some simple questions Things aren't what they seem
We all need someone to hold We all need to have a home We all need to speak our hearts We all need a little love
Each of us has the power To change the course we're on A fire burns within us Brighter than the sun
'We've got some difficult days ahead But it really doesn't matter with me now Because I've been to the mountaintop, and I don't mind 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's will He's allowed me to go up to the mountain And I've looked over, and I've seen the promised land I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight That we, as a people, will get to the promised land!'
We all need someone to hold We all need to have a home We all need to speak our hearts We all need a little love
I declare my insurrection To the home of the brave I will not surrender Until the world is free
We all need someone to hold We all need to have a home We all need to speak our hearts We all need a little love
'They may torture my body, break my bones, even kill me Then they will have my dead body... not my obedience.'
