Gather up my brothers one by one, two by two
And our sisters (Oh yeah now-now, see)

I'm sure my days will be long
And my nights won't be few
Through the visions that's in me I can see clearly
Where there is gonna be peace
Love and harmony, black understanding
Among my people, woah yes, among my people
