He was walking with your brother on the streets of Alabama
He was marching next to Martin when he died
Working face to face in Cuba and Managua Nicaragua
He did not yet beat the Devil but he tried
Hold on brother Jesse Jackson there's a better wrold a comin'
Where a man can hope a man'll show some heart
You just keep right on believin' in the better side of human
They ain't ready for you yet but it's a start
And you move 'em when you hit 'em in the heart
We must bring it all together we must start right at the bottom
