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
