Brother I've been walking farther
Than any man has ever been
I got these scars on my feet
And I've got these bruises on my chin
People they all staring in wonder
Some they even laugh at me
They don't know just what I'm seeking
And if they did we would disagree
Lift up your eyes and don't stand still
People of the world
And people of the will
Move on and on and on down this road.
Don't give up and don't give in
Someday you will be strong again
But there's still miles to go.
Sister let me tell you something
Please don't call this bravery
If you understood my reasons
You'd be here to stand by me
Up ahead: a chorus singing
In that city set upon that hill
Brother that's where I'm going
And if you want you can join me still
Lift up your eyes and don't stand still
People of the world
And people of the will
Move on and on and on down this road.
Don't give up and don't give in
Someday you will be strong again
But there's still miles to go.
If you need me
I'll wait for you, oh I'll wait for you
When I am gone, I am gone
Lift up your eyes and don't stand still
People of the world
And people of the will
Move on down this road
Don't give up and don't give in
Someday you will be strong again
But there's still miles to go
