I'm sure my days will be long,
And my nights won't be few.
Through the vision that's in me,
I can see clearly.
Where there is gonna be peace,
Love and harmony, black understanding.
Among my people, among my people.

They're gonna jump and shout,
Black liberation
We're gonna sing and shout,
The right understanding

They're gonna jump and shout,
Black liberation
We're gonna sing and shout,
The right understanding
Men and people will try to, cut you down.
Trying their very best to rearrange you.
But no matter what they do,
They won't conquer you, no matter what they do.

We're gonna free our brothers,
We gonna free our brothers,
We gonna help our brothers,
We gonna love our sisters.

And we're gonna jump and shout,
Black liberation
We're gonna sing and shout,
The right understanding

We're gonna jump and shout,
Black liberation
We're gonna sing and shout,
The right understanding
