Working On That

Lately I've been feeling low Thinking there's no way to go Change the world from how it seems To the vision of our dreams Rivers of history flow with human misery You can hear the angels cry Spirits tips slave ships Throwing Christians to the lions Sense of grace came our way Saying I should take this day Listen to the light Let our beings fill with light When you dance all of the good can never be undone To overcome all that has gone wrong Don't get down Get up We're working on that, we're working on that Into the future and out of the past We're working on that, we're working on that Until all God's children are free at last Yeah, we're working on that, we're working on that No matter the shade of your skin or the shape of your hat We're working on that, we're working on that Until peace, love and justice covers the map We're working on that, we're working on that We're not nearly done Lord knows we're working on that In the face of more bad news Seems to be no time to lose The earth is shaking And the seas are on the rise Grab your tools, shoes and task We're the ones that will have to ask A love strong soul brigade There's a difference to be made I'd like to thank the green earth And the mystic breeze The heavens above and all the great people we meet
