How beautiful upon the mountain Are the steps of those who walk in peace How beautiful upon the mountain Are the steps of those who walk in peace
Across the bridge at Selma you came marching side by side In your eyes a new world on the way Hope was in your heart and justice would not be denied You sang we shall overcome some day
God knows the courage you possessed And Issiah said it best
How beautiful upon the mountain Are the steps of those who walk in peace How beautiful upon the mountain Are the steps of those who walk in peace
Marching round the White House, marching round the Pentagon Marching round the mighty missile plans Speaking truth to power, singing peace in Babylon Asking us why not give peace a chance
God knows the courage you possess And Issiah said it best
How beautiful upon the mountain Are the steps of those who walk in peace How beautiful upon the mountain Are the steps of those who walk in peace
Now the generations who have joined you on this road Look to you with power in their eyes Now you know the torch has passed as they pick up the load Now you see their eyes are on the prize
God knows the courage they possess And Issiah said it best
How beautiful upon the mountain Are the steps of those who walk in peace How beautiful upon the mountain Are the steps of those who walk in peace
How beautiful upon the mountain Are the steps of those who walk in peace How beautiful upon the mountain Are the steps of those who walk in peace Are the steps of those who walk in peace
