there'll be a meeting of the minds
an erasing of the lines
a swing back to a softer/gentler time
there'll be a tamping down of racist hatred
more kind in humankind
there'll be something close to revelation
there'll be real cause for celebration
there'll be dancing across the nation
if we make it this time
it's a big if, baby
it's gonna take some will
but nothing worthwhile's easy
i might not see it
but i know you will
if you trust and hold on
resist and stay strong
powered by the goal you're fixed upon
fight the good fight, baby
and it won't be long
there'll be real cause for celebration
there'll be something close to revelation
there'll be dancing across the nation
if we make it this time
it's a big if, baby
it's gonna take some will
but nothing worthwhile's easy
i might not see it
but i know you will
there'll be real cause for celebration
there'll be something close to revelation
there'll be dancing across the nation
if we make it this time
