I saw us walking to the river   And I was wondering what it means   It looked like people had come together   As if we all believed in the same thing      Can you feel it, it feels like mercy   Hear that music, it sounds like grace   Let it be in my nature to look at my brother   And see my father's face      I want to be in the spirit   I want to be there when we cross that stream   As a people we're gonna get there   We'll find a way to make a world out of a dream      See that fire burn in the distance   Looks like redemption on its way   I heard a million voices that sounded like angels   Here's what I thought I heard them say      I want to be in the spirit   I want to be there when we cross that stream   As a people we're gonna get there   We'll find a way to make a world out of a dream      Oh children, don't grow weary   'Cause we have nothing to fear   With God on our side, as we move forward   I know everything is gonna be alright
