Mine eyes have seen
Mine ears have heard
Little brother it won't be long
Little sister just hold on
He's coming for us
And we will see everything manifested
The struggle shall be over
The struggle can't last forever
We must keep this fervent affirmation
Mine eyes have seen
Mine ears have heard
Little brother it won't be long
Little sister just hold on
He's coming for us
And we will see everything manifested
Each and every waking moment
Each and every lying down
There must resided hope in tomorrow
Mine eyes have seen
Mine ears have heard
Little brother it won't be long
Little sister just hold on
He's coming for us
And we will see everything manifested
We did not come this far on our own
We did not come this far easily
But down through the years we've been kept
Mine eyes have seen
Mine ears have heard
Little brother it won't be long
Little sister just hold on
He's coming for us
And we will see everything manifested
We will all rest one day
We will all sing one day
Let us muster up the courage to go on
Mine eyes have seen
Mine ears have heard
Little brother it won't be long
Little sister just hold on
He's coming for us
And we will see everything manifested
The charge from above has been given
The charge to move towards justice
Listen, move, run, and obey it
Mine eyes have seen
Mine ears have heard
Little brother it won't be long
Little sister just hold on
He's coming for us
And we will see everything manifested
I passed my test and you must pass yours
I did my best and you must do yours
Keep your affirmations high and never lower them
Mine eyes have seen, that it is over
Mine ears have heard, that we have won
Little brother it won't be long, keep believing
Little sister just hold on, don't stop fighting
He's coming for us, through the hills
And we will see everything manifested
