Till We Reach That Day
guitar chords lyrics
Oh...
There's a day of hope
May I live to see,
When our hearts are happy
And our souls are free.
Let the new day dawn,
Oh, Lord, I pray.
We'll never get to heaven
Till we reach that day.
It's a day of peace.
A day of pride.
A day of pride...
A day of justice
We have been denied.
It's been denied.
A day of justice
We have been denied.
It's been denied.
Where a man can live,
And a child can play.
We'll never get to heaven
Till we reach that day.
What they did to her,
What they took from her.
She had life in her,
Lord, she had my baby!
Look what they left of her,
Left of her,
Left of my girl!
She was nothing
To them,
She was a woman.
My girl...
Nothing and no one to them,
So they beat her
And beat her and beat hear and...
A day of peace...
There was blood on the ground!
A day of pride...
She was only a girl!
A day of justice...
It will happen again!
We have been denied...
It will happen again
And again
And again...
Let the new day dawn,
Oh, Lord...
Why does nobody care?
There is blood in the air!
We have voices and souls!
What is wrong with this country?
She was somebody's child!
There are Negroes out there!
There are people out there!
Give the people
A day of peace.
A day of pride.
A day of justice
We have been denied.
Let the new day dawn,
Oh, Lord, I pray...
We'll never get to heaven
Till we reach that day.
