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 favor, 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 privileges and new opportunities      I want them to know and see   That these new privileges and opportunities   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 I'm not concerned about that now   I just want to do God' will      And He has allowed me   To go up to the mountain   And I've looked over   And I've 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 I'm happy tonight   I'm not worried about anything   I'm not fearing any man   Mine eyes have seen the glory   Of the coming of the Lord      Glory Hallelujah, glory Hallelujah   Glory Hallelujah, glory Hallelujah
