Mighty Long Way

CHORUS:
    It’s a mighty long way from over yonder,
    It’s a mighty long way from there to here,
    We’re going to take it one step at a time
    so that we can make that walk from there to here.

What can a man see outside his window,
it’s a whole lifetime from there to here,
and all those people who gave their sweat and their blood
so that she could make that walk from there to here.

CHORUS

Every child born is a revolution,
a revolution with the song inside.
Some won’t hear it,
some hear nothing else.
They’ll sing night and day
just to keep the dream alive.

When you’ve got a dream,
You’ve got to stand up,
stand up and shout it,
shout it loud and clear.
That’s what I’m hearing,
it’s the voice of the people singing
that we will make that walk from there to here.

CHORUS
