Preacherman gon' tell me
where his body lie
said he down by the river now child
let him there to die
One by one we tumble
one by one we fall
if I had a solution now honey
I would fix us all
'Cause I believe in a world
where we all belong
and I'm so tired of seein'
every good man gone
Take me to that river
lay me by his side
let the water wash me clean now honey
man done stole my pride
I have seen the darkness
lord knows I've seen the light
don't recall the lord
sayin' there's a difference
if you're black or white
'Cause I believe in a world
where we all belong
and I'm so tired of seein'
every good man gone
(ooooh ooooooh oooooh ooooooh)
