I'm sure my days will be long,
And my nights won't be few.
Through the vision that's in me,
I can see clearly.
Where there is gonna be peace,
Love and harmony, black understanding.
Among my people, whoah yes, among my people.
They're gonna jump and shout,
Black liberation dey-ya, oh yes.
We're gonna sing and shout,
The right understanding dey-ya, oh yes.
