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
